Mount Erebus in Antarctica is the southernmost historically active volcano on Earth. With a summit elevation of 3,794 metres (12,448 ft), it is located on Ross Island, which is also home to three inactive volcanoes, notably Mount Terror.

Mount Erebus is part of the Pacific Ring of Fire, which includes over 160 active volcanoes. Erebus is the only active volcano on the Antarctic continent.

The volcano has been observed to be continuously active since 1972.

The most recent known eruption of an Antarctic volcano was that of Deception Island in 1987. There are 36 known volcanoes in Antarctica, most of which are assumed dormant.
