What if Antarctica’s volcanoes wake up? In fact, Antarctica is technically the largest desert in the world. It’s also covered with whole lotta volcanoes just chilling around. Scientists discovered that there are 138 volcanoes in Antarctica, 91 of which are hidden beneath the icy surface and 47 on top. And there might even be more. But most of these volcanoes are dormant. And for a volcano to be dormant, it has to be fast asleep for the last 50,000 years! The last volcano eruption was Mount Erebus in the Western part of the continent. It’s the most active volcano in the South side of the world and is roughly 12,500 ft (3,800 m) above sea level. That’s as high as stacking the Burj Khalifa on top of itself 5 times. There’s a whole bunch of these volcanoes stretched across the entire continent. Scientists have warned that if any of these interior ice-contained volcanoes were to erupt, they’d melt the Western Antarctic part of the land and increase the spill of ice into the ocean. It would raise the sea level and flood many endangered lands that are already at risk… #brightside Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz
