Antarctica’s active volcano emits 2.8oz gold per day

In a recent discovery, scientists found that the highest active volcano in Antarctica is emitting gold particles along with volcanic gases.

Mount Erebus which is still volcanically active was detected spewing gold with emissions. In fact this discovery was made in 1991 first by American geologists. 

The new finding remains consistent with the 1991 spotting of gold emission from the volcano. Both then and now, researchers have detected gold particles in the volcanic gases emitted by the volcano, as well as in surrounding snow.
