Largest Volcanic Region on Earth

  • Scientists have uncovered the largest volcanic region on Earth, consisting of almost 100 volcanoes two kilometres below the surface of the vast Antarctic ice sheet.
  • The newly discovered volcanoes range in height from 100 to 3,850 metres. All of them are covered in thick layers of ice.
  • These active peaks are concentrated in a region known as the west Antarctic rift system, which stretches 3,500 km from Antarctica's Ross Ice Shelf to the Antarctic Peninsula.

Harsher Winters in Europe

  • Researchers have warned that Arctic ice loss could lead to harsher winters and stormier weather in Europe because of its impact on Atlantic Ocean currents.
  • The research found that a decline in sea ice cover caused by global warming could weaken the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) -- a large-scale ocean circulation system that affects climate.
  • AMOC is responsible for transporting heat from low to high latitudes.
