Original Message
That Antarctica has multiple volcanic domes,
and the temperature and winds this past December have broken all previous records.
Things look as if they are heating up. It is NOT global warming that is melting the ice sheets...it is volcanic activity.
The Great Flood?
Two British researchers contend that a volcano violently erupted around 2,000 years ago and blew a large hole through the ice sheet in West Antarctic at around the year
207 B.C., and scientists confirm it was the largest volcanic eruption in Antarctica over the last 10,000 years
