Beneath Antarctica’s frozen surface lies a hidden chain of volcanoes. Scientists have mapped more than ninety peaks buried under the ice—some still active today. These volcanoes sit under kilometers of ice, unseen but powerful. An eruption here could destabilize the ice sheet and drive seas higher across the globe. Antarctica hides fire that could redraw the world’s coastlines.
