Axial Seamount is a young, 30 million-year-old undersea volcano in the Pacific Ocean off the U.S. coast, and it’s expected to ...

As the ice melts, the pressure in the magma chambers eases and the compressed magma can expand, leading to eruptions.

Beneath Antarctica's ice, a hidden volcanic chain could trigger catastrophic feedback loops as ice melts, accelerating ...

increasing the risk of subglacial eruptions. These eruptions could, in turn, accelerate melting, creating a vicious cycle that is difficult to stop. Antarctica is home to more than 100 volcanoes, some ...

This pressure means that melting ice can expedite the onset of an eruption from a subglacial volcano. Eruptions of subglacial volcanoes may not be visible on the surface, but they can have ...

Ice sheet melt has been shown to increase volcanic activity in subglacial volcanoes elsewhere on the globe. The reason is that this unloading of ice sheets reduces pressure on magma chambers below ...

The caldera or hollow of the central Bardarbunga volcano is about 25 square miles ... In the event of a subglacial eruption, there is a risk of an ash eruption and subglacial flooding from under ...

The results show the retreating ice will not have to completely disappear before subglacial volcanoes reach trigger point. Schematic map of separate volcanoes and volcanic provinces in Western ...
