One of the most valuable items on earth that everyone aspires to possess is gold.

Mount Erebus, an Antarctic volcano, emits gas containing about 80 grams of crystallised gold into the atmosphere every day.

This means that gold worth around Rs 5 lakhs is released for free from Mount Erebus every day.

The volcano is completely covered in snow and is located at a height of 12,448 feet.

The gas may contain other precious metals in addition to gold, according to scientists.

Even when Mount Erebus is blanketed with snow, its surface never freezes.

However, there is still much to learn about this phenomenon and studying it is challenging.

According to reports from scientists, the moment they arrive at Mount Erebus, all of the equipment breaks down.

This is a dangerous and unstable place to study because earthquakes occur frequently.
