More on the Wilkins ice shelf

Excerpt:

Another expert, Anthony Watts, chief meteorologist for KPAY-AM radio in California and the founder of www.surfacestations.org, said "the recent news stories on Antarctic ice shelf collapse completely miss two very important facts.

First, the Antarctic Peninsula is an extension of the Pacific Ring of Fire, and populated with volcanoes both on the surface and submarine. Second, satellite imagery from NASA shows there to be hot spots around and within the Antarctic Peninsula where the Wilkins Ice Shelf is located. NASA computer models show one such volcanic hotspot is centered directly under the Wilkins Ice Shelf."
