A string of a dozen volcanoes, at least several of them active, has been found beneath the frigid seas near Antarctica, the first such discovery in that region.That's a big volcano. That's a very big volcano. If that was on land it would be quite remarkable," said Philip Leat, a vulcanologist with the British Antarctic Survey who led a seafloor mapping expedition to the region in 2007 and 2010

This is so gorgeous - can you imagine the majesty of these huge volcanoes towering under the ocean's surface?
What would an eruption from one of these be like?
I'm an Antarctica nut, anyway. Too much Lovecraft and Poe, I guess.
