"Antarctica's Mount Erebus: The Gold-Spewing Volcano"

Mount Erebus, an active volcano in Antarctica, is emitting approximately $6,000 worth of gold dust into the atmosphere daily, along with plumes of gas and steam. The volcano has been continuously erupting since at least 1972 and is known for containing a rare "lava lake" at one of its summit craters. However, due to geographic isolation and logistical challenges, there is still much to be understood about the volcanic activity in Antarctica, as only a small number of permanent monitoring instruments are in place to study the region's volcanic unrest.
