I was thinking about Yellowstone and other simular volcano systems and I couldn’t help to wonder if there was a hotspot or two in the middle of Antarctica would we know it exist by now or would the ice sufficently covered up evidence of it’s existence? How would we know that an volcano would be under a thick ice sheet?
