Thanks Kev;
From photos and gifs it always seems to be happening on the one side, I thought maybe it might be due to Jupiter's tidal force and because Io is tidally locked but vulcanism occurring all over Io would make more sense I suppose..
Ive read up on a few articles and I think if it did only occur only on the one face that would warrant a mention.
Cheers
