Volcano is a landform very unknown to country like India or in general to the whole subcontinent. But India is a home to one the active volcanoes named as Barren Islands.


They hold a place in the South Andaman Islands approximately 135km NE of Port Blair to be specific. It connects the Sumatra and Myanmar(Burma) belt.


The last eruption from this active site was in 1991 with hot gases and strong ash emissions and lasted till October. It always stay as a matter of concern to the tourists whether are these islands open for the visit. So the answer lies as a yes it is!


Barren Island is fond to be the most hottest places in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands and due to its explosions now is at the top list of the tourists of Andaman in specific.


The area covered is not more than 3kms in width, the crater of this majestic Volcano is 2km wide and the walls 250- 350m in height.


The most recent activity of the Island was seen in February, 2017 with lava coming onto the seas in its most hottest state.


As the most adventurous feature the island is surely open to Scuba Diving which again is a feature to be high rated among the tourists list. There is zero population on this Island.

So if you are ready to experience the most unique island probably in the subcontinent Barren is the name! Plan now!
