In the satellite images from the 11th and the 12th December 2014 on the EOSDIS website, I noticed what looked like a possible eruption which took place. In the image from 11th December, it looks what appears to be a dubious looking plume originating from the summit area of Mount Michael on Saunders Island drifting in a southwesterly direction. In that image it wasn't easy to confirm whether that was an eruption plume or not. In the image from 12th December, a dark strip appears on the southwest flank of Mount Michael giving a strong indication that an eruption had took place. In my personal opinion, it looks volcanic so it could either be ash deposits, or a lava flow, or both.
