On the small island 12 kilometers wide, Mount Belinda has been roaring for many years and erupted in late September. In the past four weeks, volcanoes have sprayed half a million cubic meters of lava and are still active.
Located in the southern Sandwichs archipelago, Montagu mountain is covered in ice, which has partly melted under the impact of volcanic eruptions. Researchers intend to take a closer look at this eruption plane that is taking place under a dense ice to understand the interactions between hot stones and ice.
