| '''Mount Erebus''' (pronounced ĕr'ə-bəs) is a geographical location in [[Ross Island]], [[Antarctica]] on [[Earth]]. Its height is around 12,500 feet.
| |
| | |
| It is the most active volcano in [[Antarctica]] and the southernmost active volcano on Earth as of the early 21st century. The summit contains a persistent convecting phonolitic lava lake, one of a very few long-lived lava lakes in the world. Characteristic eruptive activity consists of Strombolian eruptions from the lava lake or from one of several subsidiary vents, all lying within the volcano's inner crater.
