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

More than a hundred volcanoes lie beneath the Antarctic ice, and the release of some of the weight upon them could spur them into life. According to a new study, the danger of this depends on the rate at which their icy burden lightens.

One such hidden danger involves the interaction between melting ice and geological activity, with scientists now warning of a potential link to volcanic eruptions beneath Antarctica.
