![]() The Erebus stratovolcano has undergone at least one or two caldera formations. The magma source beneath Erebus is sometimes described as a plume rising from the upper mantle at velocities of around 6 cm per year. This area is a rift zone where extension takes place and has thinned the crust to 20 km and allows magma to rise. Erebus volcano is an intraplate volcano and belongs to the McMurdo Volcanic Group, located in the so-called Terror Rift, which is part of the West Antarctic Rift System.
