Antarctic Glacier Melt Increases Volcanic Eruption Risk
Scientists have found that global warming is causing Antarctic glaciers to melt faster, which in turn increases the risk of volcanic eruptions under the ice. This could lead to further melting and a rise in sea levels that would threaten many coastal areas.
