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 ...

Like the glaciers that feed them, ice shelves are immense. Yet the ocean processes that control basal melting, and the fate of the entire Antarctic ice sheet, occur on the scale of millimetres.

Melting ice in Antarctica could trigger volcanic eruptions beneath the continent’s vast ice sheet, creating a slow but dangerous feedback loop, scientists warn. A new study suggests the melting ...
