Here are several pics of Mt. Erebus and vicinity.  Some are at the top of the mountain at the Lower
Erebus Hut camp.  Most are aerial shots from a helicopter that I took up there to open the camp.
You can clearly see the Erebus Ice tongue glacier and several ice falls on the way up. the first pics
Marble Point 19 & 20 are the entrance to the Dry Valley's.  Pic 90 is of the steaming crater rim and 
pic Erebus 20 you can see some steam rising from vents.  21 and 23 are pics of the little huts near
the summit. The pic Erebus 19 is of the crater rim and you can see all the crystal scree that is
about 1000 ft below the rim.
