Researchers from Brown University conducted 4,000 computer simulations to examine how ice sheet loss influences Antarctica's buried volcanoes.

There are several dormant volcanoes under Antarctica's ice sheet that may unleash their fury when reckless human behavior continues.

Everyone's heard of easy money schemes, but an Antarctic volcano that spews gold? Sounds a little far-fetched, no?

The West Antarctic Rift System is home to more than 130 volcanoes, and the region’s receding ice sheet could slowly wake them up.

Ice Sheets, Volcanoes, and Climate West Antarctica, home to one of Earth's largest ice sheets, sits atop a volcanic hotspot known as the West Antarctic Rift.

West Antarctica rests on a tectonic rift. Several volcanoes protrude through the ice, including the world's southernmost active volcano, Mount Erebus.

In the Antarctic, giant ice sheets averaging about 1.3 miles thick weigh heavily on the Earth's crust. However, as the ice melts, less weight bears down on the crust, causing it to shift upward ...

But at least 100 less conspicuous volcanoes dot Antarctica, with many clustered along its western coast. Some of those volcanoes peak above the surface, but others sit several kilometers beneath the ...

WASHINGTON (AP) -- A previously unknown underwater volcano has been discovered off the coast of Antarctica, the National Science Foundation said Thursday.

Two BGSU students and their professor will spend much of spring semester in Antarctica studying undersea volcanoes.

Geologists analyzing ice-penetrating radar data on Antarctica have found an additional, previously unknown 91 volcanoes, many of them in active rift zones across the continent.
