Barren Island

Active volcano - Overview

Barren Island showcases a stark, lunar-like terrain shaped by volcanic forces over millennia. Rising 354 meters above sea level, its smoking crater dominates the 3-kilometer-wide landmass surrounded by vibrant ocean waters. Part of an Andaman Nicobar trip, it draws tourists for its raw power and isolation, 138 km northeast of Sri Vijaya Puram. Emerald Lagoon Beach nearby features calm shallows perfect for sunset views. These spots complement a Visit Andaman and Nicobar adventure without overshadowing the volcano's allure.
