i've read that joe elliott played in various bands before def leppard, not all of them as a singer, but i'm pretty sure these were garage band type bands. they all probably played covers of other peoples' songs.

The island is formed from an volcano, which is not known to have been active in recent times. However on [[June 8]] [[2005]] there were reports of "mud and smoke" being ejected from the volcano. The [[2004 Indian Ocean earthquake]] is thought to have caused magma to move underground and may be related to the current activity. It is currently classified as a [[dormant volcano]] by the Geological Survey of India. Further to the south east (approximately 150 km) lies the active volcanic island of [[Barren Island (Andaman Islands)|Barren Island]], the only [[active volcano]] in the region.
 
The name means "pit of hell", although this may be the result of confusion between it and Barren Island.
