A stratovolcano, it is the second-highest volcano in Antarctica (but tallest active one) and the southernmost active volcano in the world. It sits on Ross Island. It took its name from the primordial personification of darkness in Greek mythology. The northeast slope of Mount Erebus is known as 'Fang Ridge,' and the volcano's underground magma produces unique pieces of feldspar known as 'Erebus Crystals.' In 1979, an Air New Zealand jet crashed into the side of Mount Erebus during a whiteout, killing over two hundred and fifty people.
