Mount Erebus blows around £4786.80 worth of gold into the air everyday annually producing £1,747,182 worth of gold. 

 

Mount Erebus located in Antarctica on the Ross Island known as home to dormant volcanos, is the highest active volcano in Antarctica. Mount Erebus has a summit elevation of 3,794 metres,has been an active volcano for 1.3 million years and has been erupting continuously since 1972 according to Conor Bacon. According to a press release, every day Mount Erebus releases gas bubbles each containing 80 grams of gold, spreading gold dust particles on the Antarctic ice. The gold could originate from volcanic rocks.

 

The NASA earth observatory reported traces of the golden dust being found as far as 1000 kilometres away from Mount Erebus. Satellite images of the volcano reveal a lava lake that's been bubbling since at least 1972, according to IFL Science.

 

 Mount Erebus was discovered on 27 January 1841 and observed to be in eruption, by polar explorer Sir James Clark Ross on his Antarctic expeditions. The mountain was climbed for the first time in 1908 by a group of participants in the British Nimrod expedition. Among the group of climbers there were well known Antarctic explorers such as Douglas Mawson and Tannatt William Edgeworth David.
