Couple points that you need to clarify.
- When did the eruptions happen? According to your article it was 1999, not 2008 so what is the relevance of the melt this year?
- where in the article of your source do the scientists mention at any point that the volcanoes are responsible for the "unusual melt"? Against not a single point in the article mentions that the volcanic eruption that occured in 1999 is responsible for the ice melt of this year.
