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.
