Erebus
Hello, Ms. Shipp's class! And everyone else!
It just so happens that I am going up on Erebus today, in the afternoon (it's 9:30 AM my time). I'll take some pictures for you!
Erebus is indeed still active, and can erupt. It is constantly degassing (releasing volcanic gases from within the Earth) through the summit crater and through fumaroles, or vents, on its flanks. It also has a lava lake which bubbles. Unfortunatly, I probably won't see the lava lake today, but I will get to see the volcano's plume (the gas coming out of its crater).
Hope you're all having a great day! Happy Friday!
