The project of creating a 3D map, like a CAT scan of the Earth, to trace the source of the magma flowing out of Mount Erebus was led by principle investigators Dr. Phil Wannamaker and Dr. Graham Hill.

Mount Erebus, Antarctica's only active volcano, shows how carbon dioxide allows volcanoes to form persistent lava lakes at the surface ... Phonolite is the rock type formed by Erebus’ magma.

Mount Erebus is one of Antarctica’s two active volcanoes and the southernmost active volcano on Earth. Conveniently, Erebus’ summit is a mere 25 miles from McMurdo Station.

That's partially because the gold dust in the air travels as far as 621 miles away from Mount Erebus itself. As the gas turns to tiny crystal solids in the air, it's often carried far and wide.

Mount Erebus, which joins Deception Island as the only two of 138 active volcanoes in Antarctica, is known for expelling pockets of gas containing roughly 80 grams of crystallized gold daily ...

New research finds that ice melt in Antarctica could lead to more subglacial eruptions, affecting volcanoes such as Mount Erebus, seen here. Credit: Josh Landis, U.S. Antarctic Program, Public Domain ...

Mather, professor of earth sciences at the University of Oxford, said Mount Erebus has an ‘unusual chemistry to its magma.’ ‘It is pumping gas 24/7,’ she said.

Mount Erebus, which stands 12,448ft tall in Antarctica, emits specks of crystalised gold which is believed to be worth £5,000 per day. Its frequent outburst has left "gold dust" scattered as far ...

Mount Erebus, Antarctica's southernmost active volcano, daily releases approximately 80 grams of crystallized gold, offering insight into Earth's inner workings. Despite logistical challenges ...

Antarctica's Mount Erebus is one of the most active volcanoes on the planet, and it appears to be spewing out more than fire and ash, according to a recent report by IFLScience.. The crater is the ...
