Aside from the obvious problems of melting Antarctic ice, this problem of hidden volcanoes becoming active could spell ...

Experts are on red alert after uncovering a ticking time bomb in Antarctica that would reshape the continent and dramatically increase sea levels worldwide. More than 100 volcanoes lie beneath the ...

Researchers found 100+ volcanoes beneath Antarctic ice along the active West Antarctic Rift System, dating back to the dinosaur age.

Buried under kilometres of frost are some 100 volcanoes in Antarctica, with only a few peaking above the ice sheets along the western coast. But the ice at the bottom of the world is melting ...

More than 100 volcanoes lurk beneath the surface in Antarctica. Ice sheet melt could set them off. The reason is that this unloading of ice sheets reduces pressure on magma chambers below the ...

Melting ice may cause dozens of volcanoes beneath Antarctica's colossal ice sheet to erupt and trigger a troubling feedback loop of environmental damage, scientists have warned. A new study by ...

Antarctica is home to over 100 volcanoes, many of which lie hidden beneath the ice sheet, particularly along the western coast. While some of these volcanoes peak above the ice, many are buried ...

As the ice melts, the pressure in the magma chambers eases and the compressed magma can expand, leading to eruptions.

Millions of tonnes of ice have been keeping the lid on Antarctica’s volcanoes for millennia. Now it’s melting fast, and eruptions are on the cards. About 100 dormant volcanoes are known to ...
