Yes, when it erupts -- and the lava cools quickly, forming a smooth lava solid. The heat from the crater forms in tall fumerals, which are unstable and can topple over.
As in all subglacial volcanos - lava - which melts the over lying ice
No. While there is ice covering the volcano, the volcano itself erupts lava. Like all volcanoes, Mount Erebus is fed molten rock Earth's hot interior, which is not affected by the climate at the surface.
Expeditions on Mount Everest do not take any water with them. They melt the snow and ice that is on the mountain to use as there water.
Mt Erebus is so remote, with nothing around it except ice -- two research stations lie about 70 miles away -- that there is 'nothing' to 'damage'.
mt erebus is in antarctica, on the ross ice shelf
Lava cant melt rocks.Rocks are the only thing that lava cant melt. (Well, not exactly.) <><><><><> Lava is melted rock. It is unlikely that lava alone, without an added heat source, could melt rocks. Its like melting ice - it requires more energy that you think it does to make that final state change. For example, water and ice in mixture at 32 degrees will not melt any further.
There is no food to be found on Mount Everest to eat but there is plenty of snow and ice that is used to melt for drinking.

It is located in Antarctica, the most southerly volcano on Earth.Another AnswerErebus is located on Ross Island, Antarctica, which is joined to the continent by its permanent ice sheet.
The elevation summit is 3,794 metres (12,448 ft)
Mount Everest would never melt away because under the snow and ice there is rock.
