Mysterious hot stone plate is melting Antarctica
NASA confirmed the hypothesis that a geothermal source is hot melted rock that lies deep beneath the ice of Antarctica.
Ancient heat is called "mantle plume" (manti beam) which is an unusually hot stone, rising from the earth's crust and melting all the rocks in its path. It also causes volcanic hearts with molten rock.

The hypothesis of having such a mantle plume at the bottom of the permafrost in Antarctica has been around for a long time, but recently NASA has confirmed the new evidence quite clearly.
Accordingly, mantle plume in the form of a large mushroom-shaped molten rock is hidden deep beneath the icy west of Antarctica. It is the reason behind this polar ice sheet that there are rivers and lakes.
According to NASA, this hot stone has formed 50-110 million years ago. During the active period, it helped to thaw, revive the earth from the ice age. Under current conditions, just as the heat source creates a slightly larger surprise, the ice will melt a lot and create a hazard.
The determination of this geothermal source could help scientists more accurately calculate the future of Antarctic ice, especially in the context of melting ice that is threatening people due to climate change. According to the researchers, this geothermal source also plays a big role in the rapid collapse of the earth's ecosystem during past periods of climate change.
