"Antarctica's Mount Erebus Volcano: A Gold Dust Eruption"

Antarctica's Mount Erebus, one of the continent's most famous active volcanoes, has been continuously erupting since 1972, emitting plumes of gas and steam along with tiny specks of gold dust. The volcano churns out around 80g of gold per day, which can travel through the air and be detected 1,000km away. While Antarctic volcanoes pose logistical and climatic challenges for monitoring and predicting eruptions, a study suggests that past eruptions may have impacted the environment, and the possibility of future eruptions from subglacial volcanoes remains.
