"Unveiling Antarctica's Active Volcanoes: A Golden Eruption"
Mount Erebus, the southernmost active volcano in Antarctica, regularly emits gas and steam containing tiny metallic gold crystals, with an estimated 80 grams of gold spewed out daily. The volcano is notorious for the 1979 Air New Zealand Flight 901 disaster, where all 257 people onboard were killed after the plane crashed into the side of the volcano due to a "whiteout" caused by flat light, leading to the discontinuation of sightseeing flyovers of Antarctica by Air New Zealand.
