@planet_alex_t: What Is This Volcano Releasing?… Mount Erebus in Antarctica is the southernmost active volcano on Earth and one of the few volcanoes with a permanent lava lake. Scientists found that it releases microscopic gold particles into the atmosphere. About 80 grams of gold, worth roughly $6,000, are emitted every day, and traces have been detected up to 1,000 km (621 miles) away. Mount Erebus also ejects glowing lava bombs from its crater, making it one of the most unusual active volcanoes in Antarctica. #fyp #volcano #antarctica #earthfacts #naturefacts
