Mount Erebus Deep Blue Rose Gold and Alligator

BHD 12,500.000
by CZAPEK
Description
Located on Ross Island in the frozen continent, the mountain from which the new Antarctique takes its name is the southernmost active volcano on Earth and one of the very few constantly active volcanoes in the world. It was named after one of expedition ships that discovered Ross Island in 1841, HMS Erebus – which, in turn was named after a deity in Greek mythology born of Chaos and personifying darkness.
Features

A remarkable feature of this volcano is the presence in its lava of gold, which is projected into the atmosphere at an estimated rate of 80 grams per day, dissolved in the escaping volcanic gases and therefore impossible to harvest.
