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

These images, snapped by the OLI (Operational Land Imager) on January 1, show pools of pale blue meltwater peppered across the Amery Ice Shelf in East Antarctica. This melting comes despite ...

Surface melting for the Antarctic ice sheet appears to have set a record for the 46-year satellite observation period on January 2, 2025. All areas of the Antarctic coast that generally see ...

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.

Additionally, intense atmospheric rivers have been identified as a significant factor in destabilizing ice shelves along the Antarctic Peninsula ... increased surface melt, contributing to ...

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.

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 millimeters.

Beneath Antarctica's ice, an unsuspected danger looms. Global warming could awaken dormant volcanoes, triggering a chain reaction with unpredictable consequences. This recent discovery sheds light on ...

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 ...

Increased basal melting has led to the thinning and retreat of the ice sheet in some regions, raising global sea levels . Ice shelves in Antarctica ice shelves act as keystones, stabilising the ...
