It's a composite volcano (also known as stratovolcano), which means that it has a big eruption followed by small lava flows. A composite volcano is the deadliest type of volcano and is also the biggest kind.
It had an eruption like explosive diarrhea.
From its Wikipedia entry: "Mount Erebus was discovered on January 27, 1841 (and observed to be in eruption) by polar explorer Sir James Clark Ross " Erebus has been in almost continual eruption since its discovery, that being the nature of Strombolian eruptions in volcanoes. There is no record of a 'devastating' eruption of Mt Erebus.
Mount Erebus erupted in 2008 and is still continuing to erupt.
Like most volcanoes, by volcanic eruption.
Mount Erebus is classified as a polygenetic stratovolcano
Mount Erebus is an Antarctic volcano with a height of nearly 4000 metres (12 500 feet). Its most recent eruption was in the year of 2010.
There's nothing on the Antarctic continent for a volcanic eruption to damage.
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'.
Erebus is erupting now -- continuously, and has been since it was first seen at the turn of the last century.
Erebus glows fairly constantly, a phenomenon easily observed during the dark months. A fairly steady stream of smoke and particulate matter drifts from it, according to some scientific studies. According to Wikipedia: "The volcano has been observed to be continuously active since 1972 and is the site of the Mount Erebus Volcano Observatory run by the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology." No known date is predicted for any volcanic eruption anywhere on earth.
