NOVA Explores Mt. Erebus Volcano

April 10, 2021


Antarctica: a land of extremes. It's the coldest, driest, windiest, and highest continent on the planet.

Most people associate Antarctica with snow and ice, but perhaps the most extreme geographic feature of the continent is Mount Erebus, one of Antarctica’s two active volcanoes and the southernmost active volcano on Earth.

PBS NOVA hosts Caitlin Saks and Arlo Pérez join Jessie Crain, one of OPP's Antarctic research support managers, on an exhilarating trip from McMurdo Station to Mt. Erebus's summit and surrounding area.
