Deep beneath the frozen desert of western Antarctica, an active volcanic rift stirs silently, concealed under an ice sheet up ...

when an iceberg roughly the size of Delaware broke off the Antarctic ice sheet. A once in a century eventcould produce an iceberg about 45,000 square kilometers, slightly larger than the entire co ...

A team from the Polar Engineering Research Group at UCT has set off on their first field expedition to Antarctica.

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 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 ...

Research, published in Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, suggests that mass unloading due to melting of Antarctic ice sheets (isostatic rebound) is triggering eruptions of greater frequency ...

where the Antarctic ice sheet meets bedrock. The drilling was completed earlier this month at a location called Little Dome C near the Concordia Research Station in southeastern Antarctica.
