I wonder what the deniers will come up with if these go off.

Millions of tonnes of ice have been keeping the lid on Antarctica’s volcanoes for millennia. Now it’s melting fast, and eruptions are on the cards.

Millions of tonnes of ice have been keeping the lid on Antarctica’s volcanoes for millennia. Now it’s melting. Fast. And researchers say a bout of eruptions is on the cards.

About 100 dormant volcanoes are known to inhabit the southernmost continent.

Some have peaks that extend above the ice sheet. But most are completely buried.

That ice is melting.

The risk of all that water rolling off Antarctica’s land mass and into the oceans has long been known to pose a threat through rising sea levels.

But it’s also removing weight. And that weight has been pressing down on millions of years’ worth of magma build-up beneath Antarctica’s crust.......
