Mount Erebus: The Antarctic Volcano That Releases Daily Gold Dust Particles Worth $6,000

Broke On: Thursday, 11 April 2024 Mount Erebus, an active volcano in Antarctica, daily releases approximately 80 grams of gold worth around $6,000 through its gas plumes. This discovery was confirmed by scientists who found gold particles up to 621 miles away. Mount Erebus, located on Ross Island and with a summit elevation of 3,794 meters, has been erupting since at least 1972 and is known for its searingly hot lava lake. Despite the intrigue surrounding this phenomenon, it does not indicate significant gold deposits or feasible mining operations in Antarctica.
