Recent threats that antarctica has faced?

Answer 1

In January 2008, a previously unknown and unnamed Antarctic volcano erupted blowing a substantial hole in the ice sheet and shot gas and ash 12 km into the air. The volcano, which had not erupted for about 2,300 years, is located close to the Pine Island Glacier. It is said to be the biggest eruption in Antarctica for 10,000 years. Scientists said it may explain the speeding up of historically slow-moving glaciers in the region. Until recently, Mount Erebus was the only active volcano on Antarctica. Other inactive volcanos include Mount Terror, Mount Bird and Mount Terra-Nova. There are about 20 inactive volcanos on Antactica.
