Eruption occurred on Saunders Island

A fresh ash fallout is present on the northwest flank of Mount Michael on Saunders Island in a Landsat 8 satellite image from 28th September 2018. This is a sign that an eruption had recently occurred on this volcano sometime between the days of 23rd September and 28th September.

EDIT: After studying satellite images on the EOSDIS Worldview website, it is most likely that the eruption occurred on the 27th September 2018 based on the wind direction going northwest.

Thermal anomaly present again on Saunders

While studying recent satellite images of Saunders Island on Sentinel Hub, I observed that a thermal anomaly had returned inside the summit crater of Mount Michael on the 23rd September 2018. This indicates that volcanic activity has resumed.

Judging by the size of the double anomaly I am under the opinion that it could either be a lava pond or some mild strombolian activity at the most, or simply some intensive fumarolic activity at the least.
