The volcano, one of the only two active in Antarctica, was first discovered by a British Royal Navy officer in 1841.

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

A team of scientists from Bowling Green State University are currently en route to Antarctica in search of groundbreaking new data that could play a key role in the future of climate research.

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 ...

As the ice melts, the pressure in the magma chambers eases and the compressed magma can expand, leading to eruptions. Anatarctica has 140 hidden volcanoes.

“Volcanic activity has been shown to affect Earth’s climate in a myriad of ways,” the authors write. “One such example is that eruptions proximate to surface ice will promote ice melting. In turn, the ...

A hidden danger may exist beneath Antarctica that could accelerate ice melt, a new study says. Antarctica is not just a passive, icy landscape, but a geologically active region with a complex network ...

A Spanish scientific expedition has discovered columns of gas emerging from the seabed. Geologists also warn about the ...

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 ...

Research, published in Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, suggests that mass unloading due to melting of Antarctic ice sheets ... and Puyehue-Cordon Caulle volcanoes. Such unloading-induced ...
