Fri, 9 May 2014, 08:30  Steam / ash plume from Zavodovski island on 19 April 2014 (NASA) A NASA satellite image from 19 April shows that some activity (strombolian explosions, small lava lake?) was present on the remote volcano in the South Sandwich islands. ...moreOn the picture, a thin plume of white rises from the volcano on Zavodovski island, the northernmost of the South Sandwich Islands and streams to the northeast. Further south, a wider white plume can be seen blowing across the Atlantic Ocean.

Plume of Mt Curry on 27 April 2012 seen on Aqua satellite (NASA/GSFC/Jeff Schmaltz/MODIS Land Rapid Response Team; annotation by E.

It is possible that the plume is created by lava flows in contact with sea water, as it appears to be mainly steam. Not much else is known about the eruption, because the island is uninhabited and extremely remote and has no monitoring on the island. Most of the information about this eruption will rely on remote sensing (satellite observations).
