Mount Michael active in the new year

Satellite image from the 1st January 2019 shows what appears to be slight ash deposits on the east-southeast flank of Michael Volcano, and in a false colour image from the same date a thermal anomaly is present inside the main summit crater.

It is an indicator that an eruption recently occurred at the volcano but it is hard to work when as the previous recent satellite images show cloud cover. But it is certain that there is currently some sort of activity going on.
