More than 130 earthquakes were registered Tuesday at Iceland's large Bardarbunga volcano, a possible precursor to an eruption among the several scenarios being considered, the Icelandic ...

As the ice melts, the pressure in the magma chambers eases and the compressed magma can expand, leading to eruptions. Anatarctica has 140 hidden volcanoes.

It is one of six volcanic systems located under Europe's biggest glacier Vatnajokull. In the event of a subglacial eruption, there is a risk of an ash eruption and subglacial flooding from under ...

As Antarctica gradually loses its ice cover, the pressure on the underlying magma reservoirs decreases, increasing the risk of subglacial eruptions. These eruptions could, in turn, accelerate melting, ...

In the event of a subglacial eruption, there is a risk of an ash eruption and subglacial flooding from under Vatnajokull. If an eruption were to occur outside the glacier, it would be a lava ...

In recent years, it has become painfully evident that Earth is losing ice. Greenland's ice is shrinking, at a rate of 270 billion tons per year. And Antarctica is losing its ice, too, at a rate of ...

Moreover, the gradual ice melt may have the potential to increase both the frequency and the intensity of subglacial eruptions. The melting of ice sheets reduces the immense pressure exerted on ...

Now it’s melting fast, and eruptions are on the cards ... the retreating ice will not have to completely disappear before subglacial volcanoes reach trigger point. Schematic map of separate ...
