AN ancient Roman painting has survived a devastating volcano and molten ash clouds that wiped out whole towns for centuries.

With its canyons, rainforest and an active volcano, Guadeloupe is a playground for intrepid travellers, says Sally Newall

Researchers show that lake sediments preserved within ancient supervolcanoes can host large lithium-rich clay deposits. A domestic source of lithium would help meet the rising demand for this valuable metal, which is critical for modern technology.

The 91 newly found volcanoes lurk beneath the vulnerable West Antarctic ice sheet and could accelerate its demise

A team of geoscientists from the University of Edinburgh, UK, has discovered an extensive volcanic range beneath West Antarctica’s massive ice sheet. The identified volcanoes range in height between 330 and 12,630 feet (100-3,850 m), with an average relief of 2,037 feet (621 m), including 29 structures over 3,280 feet (1 km) tall. Their diameter [...]

Researchers at Edinburgh University have discovered 91 new volcanoes hidden under more a miles of ice sheet.

It may be the densest volcanic region in the world, scientists say. But are they active?

Blue Jays No. 8 prospect Nate Pearson tossed three hitless innings in his fifth straight scoreless start Sunday as Class A Short Season Vancouver edged Salem-Keizer, 5-4.

Scientists believe they have found the largest volcanic region on earth - under the ice of Antarctica.

Scientists have uncovered the largest volcanic region on Earth – two kilometres below the surface of the vast ice sheet that covers west Antarctica. The project, by Edinburgh University researchers, has revealed almost 100 volcanoes – with the highest as tall as the Eiger, which stands at almost 4,000 metres in Switzerland. Geologists say this huge region is likely to dwarf that of east Africa’s volcanic ridge, currently rated the densest concentration of volcanoes in the world. volcano artwork And the activity of this range could have worrying...
