Rapid deglaciation as an initiator of volcanic activity: An hypothesis

Abstract Volcanic activity on sub‐Antarctic Marion Island is found to have occurred only during the interglacials. The present volcano distribution is associated with a radial and peripheral fault system, the location of which appears to be related to the former glacier distribution. An hypothesis i...
