A long-dormant underwater volcano near Antarctica may have erupted, triggering 85,000 earthquakes in the area. Research stations reported the swarm of earthquakes as early as August 2020.
Three decades ago a scientist at the University of Colorado Denver suggested that heat from a “mantle plume” under Marie Byrd Land in western Antarctica might explain regional volcanic ...
The Deception Island Antarctic Specially Managed Area monitors volcanic activity on the island, which houses an active volcano that last erupted in 1970. However, both Mount Erebus and Deception ...
Mount Erebus in Antarctica is the most southerly active volcano in the world. It began to form around 1.3 million years ago. Some animals have adapted to the freezing conditions in Antarctica.
Four of these volcanoes are newly discovered ... The research team focused on how the ocean channels heat towards Antarctica, influencing ice melt and contributing to sea-level rise — a critical ...
