SIUC professor helps discover unknown deep sea volcano off Antarctica
A geology team led by SIUC Associate Professor Scott Ishman and graduate student Phillip Szymcek, from six US and Canadian universities, confirmed an active submarine volcano near the Antarctic Peninsula. Located in Antarctic Sound, it rises 2300 feet above the seabed and reaches about 900 feet toward the surface. The discovery, aided by NSF support, suggests the volcano is very young geologically and may illuminate Antarctica's evolution. Evidence includes discolored water, basaltic rock, and bottom scans.
