"The change of seasons causes surface melting far inland from the coastal ice front," glaciologist Christopher Shuman said.

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.

The size of the Antarctic ice sheet can be hard to comprehend. Two kilometers thick on average and covering nearly twice the ...

Deep under the frozen desert of western Antarctica, a hidden danger slumbers. Lurking beneath the massive, 1–2 ...

“Volcanic activity has been shown to affect Earth’s climate in a myriad of ways,” the authors write. “One such example is ...

Eruptions of subglacial volcanoes may not be visible on the surface, but they can have consequences for the ice sheet. Heat ...

Melting Antarctica ice reduces pressure on underground magma, triggering volcanoes. This heats ice, accelerates melting, and ...

Antarctica's Filchner-Ronne Ice Shelf may be under threat due to relatively warm water from the deep sea flowing towards the ...

Researchers fear it could become a vicious cycle of surface pressure being reduced by melting ice, with further volcanic ...

Widespread coastal melting occurred in Antarctica through the second half of December and is continuing in the first few days ...

Researchers from Brown University conducted 4,000 computer simulations to examine how ice sheet loss influences Antarctica's ...
