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 ...

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 ...

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.

The rapidly melting Antarctic ice sheet could trigger the eruption of over 100 volcanoes hidden beneath the ice. The thinning ice is destabilizing the volcano's magma chambers, say scientists.

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 ...

"We need to monitor the Filchner-Ronne for signs of change, but other regions of Antarctica will melt away long before this one does," Naughten said. "We are already observing rapid ice loss in ...

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 ...
