		Antarctica is the continent at the extreme southern latitudes of the Earth, containing the South Pole.
		West Antarctica closely resembles the Andes of South America. The Antarctic Peninsula was formed by uplift and metamorphism of sea-bed sediments during the late Paleozoic and the early Mesozoic eras.
		Glaciologists in Antarctica are concerned with the study of the history and dynamics of floating ice, seasonal snow, glaciers, and ice sheets.

	Antarctica - Crystalinks
		Mount Erebus and Mount Terror are named after two ships from his expedition: HMS Erebus and HMS Terror.
		The Antarctic Peninsula was formed by uplift and metamorphism of sea-bed sediments during the late Paleozoic and the early Mesozoic eras.
		This sediment uplift was accompanied by igneous intrusions and volcanism.

	Mount Terror (Antarctica) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mount Terror is a large basaltic shield volcano that forms the eastern part of Ross Island.

		The craters of Mount Erebus were first visited in March 1908 by members of Shackleton's expedition, who initially noted the "vast abyss" filled with great masses of steam that rose in a column 150 to 300 meters high.
		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.
		Mount Erebus supports a broad glacier system, with, most ice sheets extending to the edges of the island.

	Antarctic History
		Ross' flagship was the Erebus, and Commander Francis Crozier was in command of the Terror.
		Before leaving Antarctica in February of 1948 (after its ship was freed by the icebreakers of Operation Windmill), the Ronne Expedition had achieved its major objectives, and it bore the distinction of being the first expedition in history to have women as winter-over members.
		The first negative effect visited on Antarctica by human presence was pollution; early expeditions simply tossed all of their garbage and sewage overboard.

	NSF/U.S. Antarctic Program, 2003-2004, Geology and Geophysics
		Antarctica is not only one of the world's seven continents, it also comprises most of one of a dozen major crustal plates, accounting for about 9 percent of the Earth's continental (lithospheric) crust.
		Yet Antarctica is also a time machine, thanks to the sciences of geology and geophysics, powered by modern instruments and informed by the paradigm of plate tectonics/continental drift.
		Antarctica is the highest continent on Earth (about 2,150 m above sea level), with its fair share of mountains and volcanoes; thus, many generic questions of interest to Earth scientists worldwide also apply to this region.

	Antarctic Explorers: James Clark Ross
		Antarctica was the new challenge and a voyage was planned.
		Ross was delighted and took pleasure in the fact that their efforts had been "unattended by casualty, calamity, or sickness of any kind, and that every individual on both ships had been permitted to return in perfect health and safety to this southern home".
		By January 19, 1842, EREBUS and TERROR were in "an ocean of rolling fragments of ice, hard as floating rocks of granite, which were dashed against them by the waves with such violence that their masts quivered".

		Farther south are two more prominent volcanoes, Mounts Discovery and Morning, which are on the coast across from Mounts Erebus and Terror on Ross Island.
		The volcanism is caused by rifting along the massive West Antarctic Rift, which stretches from the base of the Antarctic Peninsula to the vicinity of Ross Island, and the volcanoes are located along the northern edge of the rift.
		Although several of the volcanoes are relatively young and possibly still active (Mounts Berlin, Takahe, Waesche, and Siple), others such as Mounts Andrus and Hampton are over 10 million years old, yet retain uneroded constructional forms.

	Shackleton's Forgotten Men
		Mount Erebus and Mount Terror, Ross and his men found, were part of an island—Ross Island on today's charts—abutted by the gigantic wall of the ice shelf that spread to the east, running beyond the horizon, enticing them to explore its length, a mass of ice such as men had never before seen.
		For all Antarctica's perils they would go back again; both of these fine leaders were destined to rest forever in those cold latitudes—Ernest Shackleton in the desolate South Georgia Islands, and Captain Scott in the ice of the Great Ross Shelf.
		Yet they are there—memorials to the human spirit that shone briefly on the vast stage of ice during that longest sledge journey—a journey that brought down the curtain on Antarctica's heroic age.

		Mount Terror is the second largest of the three volcanoes which make up Ross Island, a broad shield which is quite literally overshadowed by its loftier and more famous neighbor, Mount Erebus.
		Nevertheless, a volcano which offers an uninterrupted ski descent of over two vertical miles (3200 m) is impressive by any standard, and a worthwhile second destination as part of a trip to Erebus.
		Mount Terror shows no signs of recent volcanic activity, and the age of its lavas is about one million years.
