There was quite an interesting news item in the Sunday Times (11th May page16) headed 'Antartic ice threatened by undersea volcano'. It starts 'Antarctica's ice sheets may face a far more imminent threat than climate change: scientists have found a new volcano forming a mile under the ice, which is threatening a full erruption.'

The volcano is under the West Antarctic ice sheet. Is it possible this volcano isn't 'new' at all, but has been causing ice melt in the Antarctic for some time and that ocean warming, in this area at least, is very little to do with climate change.
