'''Mount Erebus''' (pronounced ĕr'ə-bəs) is a volcano located on [[Ross Island]], [[Antarctica]] on [[Earth]].{{Ref/Reuse|goo p.203}}
'''Mount Erebus''' (pronounced ĕr'ə-bəs) is a geographical location in [[Ross Island]], [[Antarctica]] on [[Earth]]. Its height is around 12,500 feet.


==History==
It is the most active volcano in [[Antarctica]] and the southernmost active volcano on Earth as of the early 21st century. 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.
Mount Erebus was the site of a battle between [[UNSC]] and [[Covenant]] forces during the [[Battle for Earth]]. [[Blue Team]], comprised of [[SPARTAN-II program|Spartans]] [[Frederic-104]], [[Linda-058]] and [[William-043]], stopped a Covenant excavation operation with the detonation of a [[HAVOK tactical nuclear weapon]].<ref name="goo p.203">''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]'', p. 203 - ''"They had then been dispatched to Mount Erebus in the Antarctic where they neutralized a Covenant excavation with a HAVOK tactical nuke."''</ref>


==Battle of Earth==
{{Main|Battle of Ross Island}}
During the [[Battle of Earth]], the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] had set up an excavation operation at Mount Erebus, searching for [[Forerunner]] artifacts. [[Blue Team]], comprised of [[SPARTAN-II Program|Spartans]] [[Frederic-104]], [[Linda-058]] and [[William-043]], stopped this excavation with the detonation of a [[HAVOK tactical nuclear weapon|HAVOK nuclear weapon]],<ref>'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''page 203''</ref> most likely doing significant damage to the mountain, although the nature of their mission gratifies this.
