Northern Victoria Land: A chain of underwater volcanoes has been discovered here, about 60 km off the Pennell Coast, located at approximately 70° south latitude.
Ross Island: Mount Erebus, the southernmost active volcano on Earth, is situated on Ross Island in the Ross Dependency of Antarctica, south of 70°S latitude. While mostly above sea level, it features a persistent lava lake within its summit crater.
West Antarctic Rift System: This major rift system, extending under the West Antarctic Ice Sheet, is a zone of extensive crustal thinning and includes areas of submarine volcanism and numerous buried volcanoes.
South Shetland Islands: Deception Island, an active volcano with a caldera (volcanic crater) that is largely submerged, is located within this archipelago south of 70°S.
