Another Reason Oceans Are Warming; Also, More Islands Rather Than Disappearing Islands: There's A Lot We Don't Know And Lot That Isn't Being Reported In The Mainstream Media

IceAgeNow is reporting:

Researchers at the University of Bergen (UiB) have found a 932-mile (1,500-km) volcanic mountain chain hidden off the coast of Svalbard, which could soon break the surface to form a new island chain. 

The range extends from Jan Mayen island in the Greenland Sea to the Fram Strait between Svalbard and Greenland.

“We have discovered five new vent fields in Norwegian national waters between Jan Mayen island and Loki’s Castle,” Rolf Birger Pedersen, the professor leading the research, told The Local. 

“The vent fields were discovered during a cruise with RV GO Sars in July this summer. The last volcano was found a few weeks ago and is just 20 meters below sea level, said Pedersen, professor at the Centre for Geobiology (UiB). 

“We have found volcanoes at such a shallow level and they could break the surface at any time and form a new island group,” said Pedersen.

Just for the record, I’ve been talking about underwater volcanoes for years. In fact, there’s an entire chapter in “Not by Fire but by Ice” (entitled “Fish Stew”) that discusses the importance of underwater volcanoes, and how they’re heating the seas.

And:

“Imagine how much heat is being put into the Arctic ice from prevailing currents,” says Peter. “How much might this be causing ocean warming in the area?”
