Mount Erebus | [[wikipedia:Mount Erebus|'''Mount Erebus''']] (pronounced ĕr'ə-bəs) is a geographical location in [[Ross Island]], Antarctica on [[Earth]]. Its height is around 12,500 feet. Erebus is the southernmost active volcano on Earth. | ||
== | ==Background== | ||
[[Image:RossIslandMap.jpg|250px|right|thumb|topographical map of Ross Island.]]Mount Erebus is currently the most active volcano in [[Antarctica]]. The summit contains a persistent convecting phonolitic lava lake, one of a very few long-lived lava lakes in the world. Characteristic eruptive activity consists of Strombolian eruptions from the lava lake or from one of several subsidiary vents, all lying within the volcano's inner crater. | |||

During the [[Battle of Earth]], the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] had set up an excavation operation, searching for Forerunner artifacts. [[Blue Team]], comprised of [[Spartan-II|Spartans]] [[Fred|-104]], [[Linda|-058]] and [[Will|-043]], stopped this excavation with the detonation of a [[HAVOK Nuclear Warhead|HAVOK nuclear weapon]]<ref>''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]''</ref>, most likely doing significant damage to the mountain, although the nature of their mission gratifies this. | |||
