Narcondum is an andesitic volcano that was previously recorded as extinct. Narcondum is 3x4 km diameter island rising 1000 m from the ocean floor.

Narcondum Island contains some of the most impressive underwater features of the Andaman Islands. The dive site contains underwater pinnacles and boulders, and a wide variety of fish.

Mud and smoke were seen erupting from the volcano on Narcondum Island in June 2005 after being dormant for 100 years. The eruption was possibly related to the Great 2004 Sumatra earthquake.
