91 New Volcanos Found in the Antarctic

in volcanos •  7 years ago 


Scientists have found a range of 91 volcanoes under a huge ice sheet in West Antarctica.
The Geological Society, took a look at the underside of the sheets for basalt rocks and found the volcanoes, including one more than 13,000 feet tall.
Some geologists have speculated that it could be the biggest volcano chain on Earth, surpassing that of east Africa. In addition to the 91 undiscovered volcanoes, there are 47 volcanoes that have been previously discovered in the region.
Last month, an iceberg the size of Delaware broke off from Antarctica's Larsen C ice shelf.
It could melt a large amount of ice in a very short order if one was to erupt scientists speculate.
