Barren Island Wildlife Sanctuary
Barren Island Wildlife Sanctuary, located in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, is unique as it contains the only confirmed active volcano in India and South Asia. Situated about 130-138 kilometers northeast of Port Blair in the Andaman Sea, the island covers an area of roughly 8.1 square kilometers.
The sanctuary features barren volcanic landscapes with limited terrestrial vegetation but is surrounded by rich marine biodiversity including vibrant coral reefs, diverse fish species, manta rays, sharks, and various seabirds. The island remains largely uninhabited and inaccessible due to volcanic activity, but its surrounding waters are popular for activities like scuba diving, snorkeling, and fishing under regulated and permitted expeditions.
Barren Island holds great ecological importance, offering a rare combination of geological and marine life wonders.
