Deception Island
Deception Island (South Shetland Islands) is one of the most active volcanoes in Antarctica, with more than 15 explosive eruptive events registered over the past two centuries. Recent eruptions (1967, 1969 and 1970) and the volcanic unrest episodes that happened in 1992, 1999 and 2014–15 demonstrate...
