Abstract
Subglacial volcanoes have long been hypothesized to exist beneath the vast expanses of the West Antarctic ice sheet (WAIS). Active or recently active volcanoes trail the WAIS in Marie Byrd Land and Northern Victoria Land to the north and west, and extinct volcanoes reach as far south as Mount Early (87|[deg]|04|[prime]| S, 153|[deg]|46|[prime]| W), which erupted subglacially about 16 million years ago.
