  • A snowy volcano just meters away from a 1000-degree Celsius lava lake?
    Ice caves, lava lakes, cooking Christmas turkey in the volcano and being knocked unconscious by a lava bomb - nobody knows Antarctica’s Mount Erebus quite like Dr Philip Kyle.

    2016 I had the amazing opportunity to helo to the camp on Erebus, then hiked to the crater rim, peering into the lava pit, I pinched myself to assure reality! The lava bombs were littered with the rare Erebus Crystals. Nature is amazing!

      Watch Geologyhub videos; Erebus is one of only a few volcanic lakes in the world that are always molten.

      There is also another one in Africa called Erta Ale in Ethiopia.

    This is the first time I've heard something in depth about Mt Erebus that doesn't include the 1979 Air New Zealand crash of a sight seeing aeroplane that resulted in the death of 257 people.
    To see those ice caves and all that twinkle and formation, makes her seem not so foreboding but you see that roiling pool of magma and you know that those caves are a trick, a payoff for those
    willing to risk it all to see them.

    If it wasn't for the random explosions it'd be a fairly decent place. Free heating and cooking facilities even. Just dig your tent down a few inches and you get underfloor heating.

      Well apart from it being completely dark 24 hr a day during the Antarctic winter, the wind speed during the storms at that attitude get upwards of 150 km per hour plus so the tents not standing up more than a few weeks at most, plus volcanic ash is very acidic and ends up eating into almost all materials including clothing and your skin, and there not running water nor shower facilities to enable the people stationed on the rim to wash properly.
      Knew a helicopter pilot who worked with the NZ and American summer science program (Philip-Kyle worked for them both over his long career) and they hated picking these guys up after a few weeks out in these remote camps as they smelt dreadful - a terrible combination of really bad body odour and rotten eggs (from the sulpher compounds in the soils and the gas vents). The cab of the chopper smelt like that for days afterwards.
      Yeah, not so decent.

      As he said, the doctors suspect he had a concussion, so a bit of the brain died off (our brain doesn't like being slapped around inside the skull and can bruise really easily) and over time the body broke it down and removed it.

    7:40- A minor correction, I don't want to poke but I want to just point something out. The Realm of Hades or the Greek Underworld wasn't really Hell.That is a common misconception. It was actually the Afterlife in general. Yes it was dark and underground, but it wasn't a realm destined only for the damned. Everyone, good or bad went there. Not everyone that went to the Underworld was punished. Not all f it was torture, fire and darkness. There were regions that consisted of forests, meadows and gardens. But overall, the Greek Underworld wasn't Hell. It was Hell for some, but Heaven for others.
