	Mount Erebus at AllExperts
		Mount Erebus in Antarctica is the southernmost active volcano on Earth.
		Mount Erebus was discovered in 1841 by polar explorer Sir James Clark Ross (whose ships were named Erebus and Terror; these ships were also used by Sir John Franklin on his disastrous Arctic expedition), and first climbed (to the rim) by members of Sir Ernest Shackleton's party in 1908.
		The composition of the current eruptive activity on Mt. Erebus is anorthoclase-porphyric tephritic phonolite and phonolite, which constitute the bulk of exposed lava flow on the volcano.

		Other studies of Mount Erebus have included core drilling into the rocky flanks of the volcano to determine the types and sequence of materials erupted and monitoring of seismic wave activity.
		At 3794 meters, Mount Erebus is the highest point on Ross Island and the largest, most active volcano on the Antarctic continent.

		Erebus has a natural convection that continually brings new lava to the surface.
		Erebus is perfectly situated to study trace gases in its plume because the air that streams past it is unpolluted.
		More extreme sampling methods include titanium instruments that are lowered from the active crater rim to measure the temperature of the lava, and "dog chain" sampling, where a chain is dropped into the lava and quickly pulled out with crystallized magma attached.

	Skiing the Pacific Ring of Fire and Beyond: Mount Erebus
		Mount Erebus is only the second highest volcano in Antarctica, but it has been by far the most famous one since its discovery in 1841 during the voyage of Captain James Clark Ross.
		Erebus is an enormous edifice, one of three volcanoes which form Ross Island, and it rises over 15000 ft (4500 m) above its footings on the floor of the Ross Sea, with an estimated volume of 450 cubic miles (1800 cu km).
		Erebus is also unique in its composition, being the only volcano of its size to be constructed almost entirely of phonolite, a highly alkaline lava characteristic of intraplate volcanism possibly over a hotspot.

		So now, anyone going to the Lower Erebus Hut for more than eight hours is required to stop part way up the mountain at Fang Camp for 48 hours to allow their bodies to adapt to altitude.
		The reason its called Lower Erebus Hut is that there used to be an upper hut, but in 1984, the mountain spit out volcanic bombs the size of Volkswagens that threatened to crush the upper hut so it was abandoned for the safer and more distant lower hut.
