Mt. Sidley is the youngest of a chain of volcanoes looms over the ice sheet in Marie Byrd Land in western Antarctica. (Douglas Wiens / Washington University, St. Louis / December 11, 2011)

CNN's Rick Sanchez: Too Cold For a Volcano

[Sirius Lee]

Volcanoes are the zits of the world. Is this an arc chain or subduction job?

[Paladin2]

Mountain Ranges have active Volcanoes?

Who knew?

Like what Arthur Gordon Pym ran into.

Still it's mankind's fault for the ice melting, Al Gore said so in spite of the fact that there is a real live volcano under Antartica melting the ice..... sarcasm...

This might become a hot topic among the environmentalist.

There’s likely some seriously amazing stuff way down under those miles of ice. Volcanic activity... A warm spot... Couldn’t it melt out a gargantuan cathedral type cavity deep below the surface? Or a whole series of them? They’d have strange and ugly concentrations of gases, and liquid water with lord-knows-what chemistry happening in there. Life? Maybe?

I’m also curious to see what sorts of critters might be living in that huge lake that’s been cut off from the rest of the world for millions of years, covered by miles of ice.

The LA Times is only NOW discovering that western Antarctica is volcanically active?

The hot springs on Antarctic's Deception Island is a tourist destination.

Back in 2008, wattsupwiththat.com had a big article on it.

Is there not a law or requirement - I mean, can we get every gorebal warmer to get down there stat to investigate this thing?

I hear Pat Benatar was playing a concert in Antarctica there.

This will turn the AGW/Climate change debate upside down.
