Hero(ine) makes a presentation at a global warming conference: predicts
that melting of Antarctic glaciers will lead to dramatic isotactic
recovery further raising sea levels. Cites increased seismic activity.

Big-head cries "scaremongering, do nothing, carrying on burning that
coal/oil. Seismic activity no big deal, we all know there are volcanoes
down there."

Scene shift to Deception Island; research team woken by big bang, local
mountain was dormant volcano!! (Dramatic rescue by supply ship?)

Research vessel reports discoloured water and currents not as charted.

Hero(ine) joins vessel on trip to Cape Horn; sea much too shallow!! Fog
cleared by violent storm and lo - new reef has risen closing the gap
between The Cape and the Palmer Peninsular.

HOLIDAY QUESTION: with the Southern Ocean blocked south of Cape Horn what
would happen to climate and weather? Would the Statue of Liberty be
drowned again?Would there be white Christmasses in the British Isles?

Happy contemplation (not constipation).
