Voted 10/10 | Seems to be the one place in Antarctica where you don't freeze your ass off :-) Nice page | |

Hasn't voted | Thanks. Imagine how ridiculous it would be to slip off the crater rim and fall in the lava lake. People don't go to Antarctica for that, it's way more natural to freeze there (it's even better if you don't). On the other hand, scientists discovered an icy volcano (not just a glaciated one but a "cryovolcano") on Titan, so nothing can be too strange. | |

Voted 10/10 | Great page, very interesting and informative. I'm surprised Erebrus isn't up here already. | |

Hasn't voted | Thanks. Well, I'm surprised that Mount Sidley isn't here. It's the highest volcano on Antarctica. Of course, it's far less popular... maybe I should post a page for it. | |

Voted 10/10 | I enjoyed the information--good writing! A question: does Erebus pretty much rise from sea level, meaning you're looking at all (or most of) 12,447 feet as an elevation gain? If so, that's one BIG mountain! | |

Hasn't voted | Thanks for the vote! As far as I can judge from the USGS map of Ross Island, yes, it does rise up directly from sea level. You're right, it's quite a big mountain. | |

Voted 8/10 | If I could give you 3.9 stars I would. This is a great page but I think it needs some more basic information. Can you provide links or at least phone numbers or ways to contact the US Air Natl Guard in NZ to arrange for a flight? Also, there is not any information as to how to go about obtaining the permits needed to be a visitor there as well as to enter the Erebus area. What also needs to be done to use one of the huts? You mention Summer is the best time to climb but what months are those. Aren't they opposite of Summer here in the northern hemisphere? There also is no route info. this link may help or provide some info. Thanks, this could be an amazing page but I think you should provide the information to be able to actually go there and climb it. Let me know if you make any changes and I will review again to upgrade my vote. Thanks! Brian | |

Voted 10/10 | Informative and interesting, this is a very well done page. I had just been reading about this mountain in Galen Rowell's "The Inner Game of Outdoor Photography", and it's great to suddenly see it very well represented on SP. Thanks for your work! sam | |
