Ice Towers of Mount Erebus, Antarctica



Ice Towers of Mount Erebus


In the frozen slopes of Mount Erebus, the world's southernmost active volcano above, superheated gas through steam vents rise to the formation of the ice cave.

When the volcanic gases through the cave, some within the icing to form a rough chimney tower, can reach a height of more than 60 feet. The result is a cold chimney landscape of steam to the cold Antarctic air like a magic factory cluster.
