Antarctica’s Hidden Volcanoes: Climate Change Awakens Giants

2025-01-03 4

Did you know Antarctica hides over 100 volcanoes beneath its icy surface? Mount Erebus is just the beginning—many of these hidden giants could be waking up, and climate change is playing a key role.

As ice sheets melt, the immense pressure on the Earth's crust decreases, triggering magma expansion and increasing the likelihood of eruptions. New research with 4,000 simulations reveals a dangerous feedback loop: volcanic eruptions melt ice from below, further weakening Antarctica's structure.

:volcano: Could these eruptions reshape the continent?
:thermometer: How will this impact global sea levels and climate?

The last Ice Age saw similar volcanic activity—are we on the brink of history repeating itself? The consequences could be profound.
