Abstract

Retreating ice caps overlying volcanoes are thought to relieve surface pressure, causing enhanced magma generation and volcanic activity. Analysis of crustal stress during a dyke intrusion event associated with retreat of Iceland’s largest ice cap indicates that ice retreat could instead promote storage of magma in the crust, rather than eruption at the surface.
