Mount Erebus has continued to stun scientists by throwing out pieces of fortune which travel as 'gold dust' - the volcano has been emitting crystalised gold for many years

Mount Erebus apparently spits gold flecks measured between ‘0.1 and 20 micrometers’ in the volcanic gases and ’60 micrometers’ in surrounding snow.

Mount Erebus, an active volcano in Antarctica has been in the news for spewing gold dust worth $6000 every single day; it is about 80 grams of gold dust that is being emitted each day.

The frozen continent of Antarctica is, paradoxically, a hotbed of volcanic activity. The ice-capped region is home to some 138 volcanoes nestled beneath the snow, 91 of which were discovered as recently as 2017.

The volcano is most well-known for a fatal disaster, but it's now grabbing attention for new reasons.

The world's tallest volcano which spews a daily amount of gold that is worth a small fortune has long left scientists baffled. Mount Erebus in Antarctica emits all the expected plumes of steam, gas and rock bombs.
