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.
