Scientists discover 91 volcanoes below Antarctic ice sheet
UK's Edinburgh University scientists claim to have uncovered the largest volcanic region on Earth, discovering 91 volcanoes in addition to the already known 47, two kilometres below the Antarctic ice sheet. The new-found volcanoes ranging from 100-3,850 metres in height are covered in 4-km-thick ice in the 3,500-km-long region from Antarctica's largest 'Ross' ice shelf to the Antarctic peninsula.
