80 grams of gold per day, in the form of particles measuring 20-60 micrometres are emitted by Mt Erebus and can be found in the atmosphere up to 1,000 km away.
A rare geological anomaly exists in the Antarctic, where the area’s highest and most southern active volcano is spewing out thousands of dollars in crystallised gold specks.
Mount Erebus’ emissions, reaching 3,794 metres high, include gases, steam, and boulders of partially molten rock.
