Deep beneath the thick layer of million-year-old ice, something is lurking quietly, waiting to rip through the rigid ice ...

Deep under the frozen desert of western Antarctica, a hidden danger slumbers. Lurking beneath the massive, 1–2 kilometer-thick slab of frozen water lies an active volcanic rift, seething away in the ...

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. The ...

Along a 900-kilometer (560-mile) stretch of Antarctica’s Pacific Coast, 18 major volcanoes jut from the ice sheet. The chain, similar in size to the Cascade volcanic chain in North America, is home to ...

When volcanic eruptions make headlines, the images often depict fiery lava and towering ash clouds. But beneath Antarctica’s frozen landscape, volcanoes quietly shape Earth's climate in surprising ...

Geologically, Antarctica isn't easy to study. Nearly all of it (98 percent) is covered by ice, with an average depth of 1.1 miles.. This has certain obvious impacts on our ability to measure anything ...

If the theory is proven correct, the consequences could be enormous, spelling a much more risky, explosive future.

Two Bowling Green State University students and their professor will spend two months in Antarctica this semester on a research trip. Their research will explore how undersea volcanoes interact with ...

Antarctica's ice sheet hides a massive system of volcanoes, one that is comparable to volcanic regions in East Africa and western North America, according to a new study, which found 91 previously ...

George Steinmetz was drawn to Mount Erebus, in Antarctica, by the ice. The volcano constantly sputters hot gas and lava, sculpting surreal caves and towers that the photographer had read about and was ...
