Long description:
A VOLCANO LIKE NO OTHER

Haunting and searingly beautiful, Erebus has attracted explorers, mountaineers, artists and scientists; each drawn to the mountain by their own particular vision or curiosity.

The mountain is a truly unique geological phenomenon -- an active volcano sheathed in ice, with hundreds of ice caves, huge steaming towers around its summit, and a lava lake. Also, in the minds of many New Zealanders, it is a place of destruction and despair, wrought by a single momentous accident.

Antarctic veteran Monteath weaves history, science, art and adventure into a compelling tale, supported by superb images selected from his lifetime of working and voyaging in the area. Dr Adele Jackson contributes a chapter looking at how Erebus has inspired the many writers, musicians and artists who have visited the continent.
