PARIS (AFP) - Recent massive volcanoes have risen from the ocean floor deep under the Arctic ice cap, spewing plumes of fragmented magma into the sea, scientists who filmed the aftermath reported Wednesday.

The eruptions -- as big as the one that buried Pompei -- took place in 1999 along the Gakkel Ridge, an underwater mountain chain snaking 1,800 kilometres (1,100 miles) from the northern tip of Greenland to Siberia.

What are those "scientists going to say when the ice doesn't melt?

Is there going to be any predictions on ice melt this year?

The eruptions are estimated to have happened in 1999 and are recently discovered. Have climate models accounted for this in the last 9 years? And how do climate models estimate such activity in the future?
