Lava flows from the Fagradalsfjall volcano in Iceland's Reykjanes Peninsula on March 25, 2021. This was the first eruption on the Reykjanes Peninsula in approximately 800 years.

An enormous plume of magma over a thousand miles across is slowly but steadily rising underneath Mars' Tharsis volcanic region and could one day provoke a mighty eruption from the solar system's ...

Concerns are growing among scientists in Iceland that a volcano that erupted several times since the end of 2023 could erupt ...

Hidden Underground Magma Pools Fueled Iceland’s Volcanic Eruptions, Study Suggests A subterranean plumbing system of magma beneath the island’s Reykjanes Peninsula may have helped set off the ...

Geoscientists have discovered a magma cap at Yellowstone National Park that is likely playing a critical role in preventing a massive eruption in one of the largest active volcanic systems in the ...

Instead, it’s a massive pool of magma sitting just under the earth’s crust. An eruption is when that crust collapses into the rising magma, which boils over to the surface.

Scientists have discovered a giant 'magma cap' under Yellowstone National Park. The cap is likely playing a critical role in preventing a massive volcanic eruption.

Geoscientists discovered a magma cap acting as a "lid" 2.4 miles beneath Yellowstone. This magma cap traps heat and pressure, but also allows gas to vent, reducing eruption risk.

Underneath Yellowstone National Park, magma bubbles and flows. But exactly how close it is to the surface has long been a mystery to scientists — until now. For the first time, researchers have ...

Scientist answer burning question about volcanic magma under Yellowstone Researchers from Rice University imaged the magma underneath Yellowstone and showed how it vents pressure, reducing the ...

A low-density, weak-gravity region has been found below Olympus Mons and the Tharsis volcanoes, while Mars' northern hemisphere is littered with puzzling high-gravity structures beneath the surface.
