Grey area on Saunders Island

In the satellite image of Saunders Island from the 23rd December 2015, I noticed what appears to be a grey area on the east side of the island extending from the volcano to the shoreline. Although it is not easy to explain for sure what it is, I'm not ruling out an ash stained slope or even a probable ash plume.

Notice the grey area on the east side of Saunders Island, is that ashfall? or even a probable ash plume? SOURCE: Aqua/MODIS/NASA.

Oh and also, I've previously forgot to post an image of Saunders Island from the 23rd November 2015 covered in clouds but showing a vapour plume being emitted from Mount Michael.
