Melting Antarctica ice reduces pressure on underground magma, triggering volcanoes. This heats ice, accelerates melting, and raises seas.

A slow climate feedback loop may be bubbling beneath Antarctica's vast ice sheet. The continent, divided east to west by the Transantarctic Mountains, includes volcanic giants such as Mount Erebus and its iconic lava lake.

Climate change is dramatically reshaping Antarctica, a continent long considered one of the most remote and stable regions on Earth. While much attention has been focused on the alarming rise in sea levels and the accelerating loss of ancient ice sheets,
