The study fills critical knowledge gaps. Scientists make ominous discovery about volcanoes beneath Antarctic ice sheet first appeared on The Cool Down.

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 ...

It may surprise you, but yes, ice volcanoes do exist! While cryovolcanoes that erupt gases, water, ammonia, and hydrocarbons only exist on icy planets and moons far away in our solar system ...

An "unusually large" ice volcano in Iceland could be about to blow after more than 130 earthquakes hit the region in a five-hour period, experts say. The earthquake swarm began in the northwestern ...

Letchworth isn’t the only place to witness this rare winter phenomenon. Along the frozen shores of Lake Ontario, water pushes ...

Why Trust Us? The West Antarctic Rift System is home to over 130 volcanoes, many of which are locked away under thick layers of ice. A new study shows that glacial retreat coupled with isostatic ...

While impacts such as sea level rise and salinity changes are commonly reported, one lesser-known consequence is the effect on volcanoes. During deglaciation, melting of kilometers-thick ice ...

A new study suggests the melting of Antarctica’s ice sheet, driven by the climate crisis, may increase volcanic activity under the surface. Antarctica is home to over 100 volcanoes, many of ...

Not to worry, these volcanoes don’t involve lava. They are actually ice volcanoes! Wind sweeps across Lake Ontario sending waves toward the shore. Some of that water flies up through the cracks ...

Along the frozen shores of Lake Ontario, water pushes up through the cracks in the ice, bursting towards the sky like lava and solidifying on the way down, creating small volcano-like peaks along ...

When temperatures plummet in upstate New York, ice volcanoes rise. A gravity fed fountain freezes over in single-digit Upstate New York temps at Letchworth State Park. January 2025. Dee Maz-Kir ...
