Post-caldera volcanism of Deception Island (Antarctica): new insights from Tephra studies and Port Foster Bay volcanic deposits
Programa de Doctorat en Ciències de la Terra [eng] Deception Island (South Shetland Islands) is one of the most active volcanoes in Antarctica and has experienced over 20 explosive eruptive events in recent centuries. Recent eruptions in 1967, 1969, and 1970, as well as volcanic unrest episodes in 1...
