Scientists in Iceland are aiming to drill 1.3 miles into the earth's crust to a volcano's magma chamber in order to source huge amounts of geothermal energy.

The eruptions of volcanoes in Chile have been influenced by the expansion and contraction of the glaciers above them, a major ...

Glacial retreat caused a wave of volcanic activity in southern Chile as the last Ice Age came to an end, according to new ...

Earth's crust is continually being created at the spreading centres of mid-ocean ridges. Here, magma rises up from the mantle and resides in shallow chambers before erupting onto the sea floor. A ...

A new study claims that Antarctica is in most danger of experiencing more frequent and explosive volcanoes due to the ...

KMT hopes to break ground on the first hole into the magma chamber in 2026. But it still has a long road ahead. Its biggest challenge is collecting the money to build the research center and start ...

Melting glaciers may be silently setting the stage for more explosive and frequent volcanic eruptions in the future, ...

Earth World's first tunnel to a magma chamber could unleash unlimited energy. In Iceland, scientists are planning to drill two boreholes to a reservoir of liquid rock.

These were used to identify a large magma chamber that has been growing at an average rate of roughly 4 million cubic meters per year since Kolumbo's last eruption in 1650 C.E.

Scientists have worked out the consistency of the magma under the Yellowstone caldera using seismic waves — and the reservoir is filled with "mush" that doesn't pose an imminent eruption threat.

Mount Rainier was experiencing "the most significant seismic activity" at the volcano in more than 15 years as an "earthquake ...

Scientists in Iceland have come up with an ambitious plan to drill into a volcano’s magma chamber to source an abundant amount of clean, super-hot geothermal energy.. The project, which would be ...
