Installing a temporary GPS station on the NW side of Erebus.

Lower Erebus Hut

First stop on a day spent flying to 4 sites on Erebus. This is the field camp for the science group which comes down every year.

Nausea Knob

Second stop on an all-day trip to Erebus. This was the highest point I got to on the mountain.

Truncated Cones

Stop #3 for the day. This was the coolest place I went on Erebus. Close to the Crater, several different equipment installations at the site, tremendous views, and fumaroles galore.

Abbott Peak

This is the final site we visited on Erebus this day - a short stop to tidy up some GPS and seismic station issues.
