Antarctic Volcano That Ships Can Sail Into May Hold Clues To Life On Mars
On Deception Island in Antarctica, steam rises from the beaches, and glaciers dot the black slopes of what is actually an active volcano -- a rare clash of ice and fire that provides clues to scientists about what life could look like on Mars.

China's Tianwen-1 Spacecraft Captures Images of Entire Planet of Mars
An uncrewed Chinese spacecraft has acquired imagery data covering all of Mars, including visuals of its south pole, after circling the planet more than 1,300 times since early last year, state media reported on Wednesday.

NASA’s New Horizons Identifies Towering Ice Volcanoes on Pluto
A batch of dome-shaped ice volcanoes that look unlike anything else known in our solar system and may still be active have been identified on Pluto using data from NASA's New Horizons spacecraft, showing that this remote frigid world is more dynamic than previously known.

Did Mars Ever Look Like Earth? NASA Scientist Answers
Mars is quite similar to Earth, as per a NASA scientist. In a video interview, astrobiologoist Dr. Becky McCauley Rench said that the Red Planet wasn't as dry always, as we see it today. As per NASA's own website, “Mars, like Earth, has seasons, polar ice caps, volcanoes, canyons, and weather.”

Ice Volcanoes Erupt On Lake Michigan. Why You Shouldn't Go Near One
A cold snap has brought an interesting phenomena to USA's Lake Michigan, creating ice volcanoes on its beachfront.

How Human Skin From This US State Helped New Zealand Volcano Burn Victims
White Island Volcano Eruption, New Zealand: They packed the human skin in cardboard boxes lined with foam and dry ice, and shipped it off. With that, the workers at a facility in southwestern Ohio became part of an incredible drama unfolding 8,000 miles away.

Another Climate-Change Nightmare: 91 New Volcanoes Under Antarctica's Ice
University of Edinburgh researchers on Monday announced the discovery of 91 previously unknown volcanoes under west Antarctica. They do not sound nearly as alarmed as, say, Quartz, which called the possibilities terrifying.

Earth's Largest Volcanic Region Discovered In Antartica
The largest volcanic region on Earth, with nearly 100 volcanoes, has been discovered two km below the surface of the vast ice sheet in west Antarctica.

Storm Of Fire, Ice Led To 'Snowball Earth' 700 Million Years Ago
A perfect combination of erupting volcanoes along with a rapid cooling effect may have caused the largest glaciation event in history - known as 'snowball Earth' - that covered our planet pole-to-pole in ice more than 700 million years ago, Harvard scientists say.

Dwarf Planet Ceres May Hold A Towering Ice Volcano
Lots of folks may still be salty over Pluto's "demotion" from planet to dwarf planet, but it's becoming apparent that the little worlds with this designation are anything but boring. In a set of six studies published Thursday in Science, researchers report that Ceres - a dwarf planet in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter - plays host to man...

Volcanoes Erupted Under Ice Sheet On Ancient Mars
Volcanoes erupted beneath an ice sheet on Mars billions of years ago, according to new research that indicates an environment combining heat and moisture, which could have been favourable for microbial life.

Scientists Dive Into Precious Pluto Data
From possible ice volcanoes to twirling moons, NASA's New Horizons science team is busy analysing more than 50 exciting discoveries about Pluto that the probe has revealed so far.

Mountains on Pluto Believed to be Ice Volcanoes, Scientists Say
Scientists have discovered what appear to be ice-spewing volcanoes on the surface of Pluto, raising questions about how the tiny, distant world has been so geologically active, according to research presented on Monday.
