Melting glaciers aren’t just raising sea levels — they might be unlocking Earth’s most explosive force

A groundbreaking study from Chile reveals that as ice caps vanish, volcanoes trapped beneath them could erupt more frequently and violently. This terrifying chain reaction isn’t just theory — it’s already happened after the last ice age. Now, with over 100 volcanoes buried beneath Antarctica's ice, scientists are raising the alarm.

Watch to uncover the hidden link between climate change and volcanic eruptions — and what it means for our future.

00:00What if the melting ice caps are ticking time bombs?
00:03A new study says the climate crisis could trigger a wave of explosive volcanic eruptions.
00:08Here's how it works.
00:09Glaciers and ice caps sit heavy on volcanoes.
00:12When they melt, that weight disappears.
00:15The pressure holding magma in check vanishes.
00:17Boom!
00:18Eruptions become more likely and far more violent.
00:21Scientists saw this in Chile.
00:23They studied a volcano buried under ice during the last ice age.
00:27It barely erupted back then.
00:29But once the ice melted, it exploded over and over again.
00:33And here's the scary part.
00:35This isn't just about Chile.
00:37There are over 100 volcanoes under Antarctica's ice.
00:40As that ice melts, we could see a volcanic chain reaction.
00:44Even worse?
00:45Volcanoes can cool the Earth briefly.
00:47But if they erupt constantly, they'll actually heat it more.
00:51Releasing carbon dioxide and methane.
00:53Feeding the very climate crisis that caused them in the first place.
00:57A vicious loop of fire and ice, and we might already be in it.
01:01Bit of a nuclear plant.
01:05trabajo is also aourd fire-like cinelet bl плохо.
01:10So currently, we can actually take a look.
01:11Let's put it in the first place right away from our islands.
01:15It's super way.
01:17And it's nice.
01:19The pelealter of China is AL about 8- укret.
01:21If we want to change something in our in the next place,
01:23we should be leaving tomorrow.
01:24Not really.
01:25We look into thearch.
01:26It's être simple at the grail of s- 갖.
