Antarctica - 'fire hell' between the earth in the coldest place in the world

Antarctica is the place with the harshest climate in the world. But it turns out, this place is "hotter" than we thought.

Antarctica is the most cold and dry place. But underneath that coldness, it is hard to doubt that there exist the largest concentration of volcanic clusters in the world.

That is what the experts from Edinburgh University concluded after a recent study.

Penguins are endemic Antarctic animals.

Accordingly, the expert team found 91 more volcanoes buried under permafrost. In addition to the 47 known mountains, Antarctica became the place with the largest volcanic density, a "fire hell" between the icy world.

More specifically, experts claim that the volcanoes here are allocated along the West Antarctica. They concentrated and headed for the central axis, about 3,000 km long, on the western fissure. To conclude, they used satellite and super-sensitive radar technology to determine the "direction" of these mountains.

The density of scary volcanoes in Antarctica.

The experts said that most of the volcanoes here are conical , showing that they have not been frozen and eroded, and are more likely to be quite young mountains.

Their sizes are also quite diverse - some are just like hills, others are many kilometers high, even parity of Japan's Mount Fuji.

In fact, Antarctica is home to a lot of active volcanoes - in which Erebus volcano is the most active member. The reason they were buried probably originated 100 million years ago - the time when Antarctica was not covered by ice. When the long winter in the Cretaceous period appeared, it was also when all disappeared - both dinosaurs, trees, and volcanoes.

Most of the volcanoes here are conical.

Currently, experts have not been able to determine the danger level of nearly 100 new mountains, but it is clear that science needs to be taken care of. According to experts, this is a very impressive finding, but also a worrying signal.

The reason is because climate change is now eroding the permafrost of Antarctica. If one of these mountains is active, the situation may become really serious. Meanwhile, the erosion of the ice also makes this scenario more likely to occur.
