![]() Important volcanic episodes include: astonishingly voluminous mafic and felsic volcanic deposits associated with the Jurassic break-up of Gondwana the construction and progressive demise of a major Jurassic to Present continental arc, including back-arc alkaline basalts and volcanism in a young ensialic marginal basin Miocene to Pleistocene mafic volcanism associated with post-subduction slab-window formation numerous Neogene alkaline volcanoes, including the massive Erebus volcano and its persistent phonolitic lava lake, that are widely distributed within and adjacent to one of the world's major zones of lithospheric extension (the West Antarctic Rift System) and very young ultrapotassic volcanism erupted subglacially and forming a world-wide type example (Gaussberg). It is the 6th highest ultra mountain on an island. Each is described in terms of (1) the volcanology and eruptive palaeoenvironments (2) petrology and origin of magma and (3) active volcanism, including tephrochronology. He made important geographic and magnetic observations and discovered Victoria Land, McMurdo Sound, Mount Erebus. Map of Mount Erebus Mount Erebus /rbs/ is the second highest volcano in Antarctica (after Mount Sidley) and the southernmost active volcano on earth. Worlds southernmost mountain, Mount Erebus is an active volcano on Ross Island. The volume is an amalgamation of in-depth syntheses, which are presented within distinctly different tectonic settings.
