Three thermal anomalies inside the crater of Michael Volcano

Satellite image from 24th December 2019 shows three anomalies present inside the summit crater of Mount Michael, Saunders Island. It is an indicator that the volcano is pretty much active and that there maybe currently 3 active vents present on the crater floor. Images from 29th November and 2nd December 2019 also show similar anomalies suggesting that the volcano became active sometime in November.
