Erebus - the Ice Dragon

Mt Erebus, Antarctica’s most famous volcano, has attracted explorers, mountaineers, artists and scientists; each drawn to the mountain by their own particular vision or curiosity. The mountain is a truly unique geological phenomenon with its lava lake— an active volcano sheathed in ice, with hundreds of ice caves and fumaroles around its summit. This Sir Holmes Memorial lecture will weave history, science, art and adventure into a compelling tale, supported by superb images selected from Colin's lifetime of working and voyaging in Antarctica. Based on Erebus The Ice Dragon: A Portrait of an Antarctic Volcano, Colin’s 13th book.
