Finally, I'm back... Kim's right. Even with a volcano, the area of ice would not be affected unless immediately around the caldera where a lahar would occur. The area for ice is spread across two plates and has been there for such a long time that even with this new volcano's eruption, sediments would still be available for eras to come. Btw, Patagonia used to be part of Antarctica... fyi.

The heat signature from a volcano would be easily detected from satellite and ground-based instrumentation. Furthermore, the heat signature footprint of a volcano would be tiny compared to aerially much larger areas of thinning ice.

It does but didn't you include a post today about an awaking volcano in this same area?
