Anomaly is back on Mount Michael

Recent satellite images of Mount Michael on Saunders Island suggest that activity has resumed on the volcano. The image from the 6th November 2020 shows a thermal anomaly present inside the summit crater of Mount Michael but in the run up to that date, a couple of images (including one from the 24th October 2020 shown below) shows emissions of gas originating from Saunders Island. This suggests a presence of a lava pool or some low level strombolian activity.
