English: Barren Island, a small volcanic island which is part of the Andaman Island group in the Andaman Sea west of Malayasia, began a new eruptive phase late in 1994. Barren Island last erupted in 1991. The current eruption was surveyed by a team of Indian scientists in January, 1995; at that time they thought the eruption was in an initial stage and gaining momentum. The STS-67 crew noticed the volcanic plume early in their flight, and had several opportunities to document the on-going eruption. This view, taken March 14, shows a healthy volcanic plume rising several thousand feet into the
atmosphere. The main plume drifts westward over Andaman Island, although a smaller plume close to the ground is being dispersed to the south.
