Researchers from Brown University conducted 4,000 computer simulations to examine how ice sheet loss influences Antarctica's buried volcanoes.

More than a hundred volcanoes lie beneath the Antarctic ice, and the release of some of the weight upon them could spur them into life. According to a new study, the danger of this depends on the rate at which their icy burden lightens.

Antarctica’s ice shelves are rapidly thinning due to warm water flowing beneath them, a process accelerated by decreasing sea ice.

One such hidden danger involves the interaction between melting ice and geological activity, with scientists now warning of a potential link to volcanic eruptions beneath Antarctica.
