Antarctica's Volcanoes Speed Ice Sheet Melt, Threatening Catastrophic Sea Level Rise

A study reveals a feedback loop in West Antarctica: climate change-driven ice melt increases volcanic activity, which further accelerates melting, potentially causing a catastrophic 190-foot sea level rise by 2300 if the ice sheet collapses completely.

What is the critical feedback loop impacting the stability of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet and its potential consequences for global sea levels?

Over 100 volcanoes lie beneath West Antarctica's ice sheet, a region highly vulnerable to collapse. As climate change melts the ice, it triggers increased volcanic activity, creating a feedback loop that accelerates melting. This is because reduced ice mass allows magma chambers to expand, increasing eruption frequency and generating more heat, thus melting more ice.
