	Mount Erebus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mount Erebus in Antarctica is the southernmost active volcano on Earth.
		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.
		The upper slopes of Mt. Erebus are dominated by steeply dipping (~30°) tephritic phonolite lava flows with large scale flow levees.

		Second, because Mt. Erebus is in such a cold climate and has a lot of snow and ice on it, it is possible that some old lava flows have actually run over snow and ice fields without melting them.
		Lastly, Mt. Erebus is very unusual in the chemical composition of the lava lake and many of the younger flows.
		Erebus is the most studied volcano in Antarctica, having been the subject of research since it was discovered in 1841 (Kyle, 1990 in the above reference).

		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.
		Of particular interest is the Erebus Glacier Tongue, an elongate, serrate-edged lobe of ice that extends for several kilometers into Erebus Bay of McMurdo Sound, where most of it floats in water as much as 400 meters deep.

	Antarctic Explorers: James Clark Ross
		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".
		The ships were able to separate but the EREBUS was completely disabled and drifting on to the berg "so close that the waves, when they struck against it, threw back their sprays into the ship".
		It took forty-five minutes to execute but "In a few minutes, after getting before the wind, she dashed through the narrow channel between two perpendicular walls of ice, and the foaming breakers which stretched across it, and the next moment we were in smooth water under its lee".

		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.

		There was no time for either Collins or Cassin to divert the aircraft, and six seconds after the warning began blaring, the plane collided directly with the side of Mount Erebus and disintegrated.

		Almost all of the aircraft's wreckage still lies where it came to rest on the slopes of Mt. Erebus, under a layer of snow and ice.

		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.
