One of the larger eruptions of Antarctica's Mount Erebus this year occurred at 09:12 UTC on December 4, 2014 and ejected bombs onto the summit cone of Erebus, Mount Erebus Volcano Observatory (MEVO) reports.
Mount Erebus is one of several volcanoes in the McMurdo Volcanic Group which itself consists of Late Cenozoic intraplate alkaline volcanoes. It is also the world's southernmost historically active volcano, and the second highest volcano in Antarctica, after Mount Sidley.
There were 6 more significant eruptions on December 5 which show up nicely on the MACZ (short period single vertical component) seismometer.
