- A snowy volcano just meters away from a 1000-degree Celsius lava lake?
Ice caves, lava lakes, cooking Christmas turkey in the volcano and being knocked unconscious by a lava bomb - nobody knows Antarctica’s Mount Erebus quite like Dr Philip Kyle.

His dedication, the heart he puts into speaking about his life's work is so admirabble
Gives new meaning to the saying "Cold as hell".
If it wasn't for men and women like him, whose wonder and curiosity drove them to learn more about our planet, we wouldn't know anyting.
2016 I had the amazing opportunity to helo to the camp on Erebus, then hiked to the crater rim, peering into the lava pit, I pinched myself to assure reality! The lava bombs were littered with the rare Erebus Crystals. Nature is amazing!
How did you manage that?
truly ice and fire
What a fascinating place! I didn’t know there were active volcanoes in Antarctica. Those caves are beautiful but I kept anticipating sudden Krykna ice spiders jumping out from the shadows.
Reminded me of Icewind Dale.
as mr spock once said , life as we dont know it . fascinating.
Watch Geologyhub videos; Erebus is one of only a few volcanic lakes in the world that are always molten.

There is also another one in Africa called Erta Ale in Ethiopia.

Their is also a substantial amount of aircraft wreckage spread across its sides…
@@allangibson2408 hi allan. good name there .:)
Literally when hell freezes over
Cooking the turkeys in the ground reminds me of when my Dad said that he and his friends wrapped potatoes in foil and buried them near a camp fire to cook them.
the ice caves are the most beautiful things I've ever seen. I've been sandstone canyoneering, but that's got nothing on narnia
Your passion and dedication to your work is inspiring. Thank you for your contributions to science Dr. Philip Kyle, and everyone else involved!
That guy knows how to live life.
The best thing about this vidéo is this man.
This man is a legend
It’s so beautiful. Those gorgeous ice caves and amazing lava lake are utterly stupendous.
Hmm, I have now been recommended to go to hell so I can see a big volcano in Antarctica.
Informative
This is the first time I've heard something in depth about Mt Erebus that doesn't include the 1979 Air New Zealand crash of a sight seeing aeroplane that resulted in the death of 257 people.
To see those ice caves and all that twinkle and formation, makes her seem not so foreboding but you see that roiling pool of magma and you know that those caves are a trick, a payoff for those
willing to risk it all to see them.
Wow, what a cool guy!
If it wasn't for the random explosions it'd be a fairly decent place. Free heating and cooking facilities even. Just dig your tent down a few inches and you get underfloor heating.
Carbon monoxide poisoning
Well apart from it being completely dark 24 hr a day during the Antarctic winter, the wind speed during the storms at that attitude get upwards of 150 km per hour plus so the tents not standing up more than a few weeks at most, plus volcanic ash is very acidic and ends up eating into almost all materials including clothing and your skin, and there not running water nor shower facilities to enable the people stationed on the rim to wash properly.
Knew a helicopter pilot who worked with the NZ and American summer science program (Philip-Kyle worked for them both over his long career) and they hated picking these guys up after a few weeks out in these remote camps as they smelt dreadful - a terrible combination of really bad body odour and rotten eggs (from the sulpher compounds in the soils and the gas vents). The cab of the chopper smelt like that for days afterwards.
Yeah, not so decent.
Beautiful,thank you guys for all your great work you do
he told me to go to hell in the end. lmao
I hope he decides to teach the next generation what he has learned.
Amazing video! What dedication and Commitment. Thank you sir for your service to the world of discovery!
Never was I so happy of being told to go to hell.
Absolutely incredible.
7:06-7:14
Reminds me of the Hangi. : )
Essentially in ground home-cooked goodness, meat and three veg.
What a great Guy.
Thanks so much for the video and info.
I wish you All the best.
Amazing, what a beautiful planet we are responsible for. Quite the gift.
Good timing
Wonderful
Congratulations!
No wonder less people knows about antarctic volcano. Most people only thought that antarctica was a bounch of frozen water forming an ice continent in the south lowest point of earth. Even in the globe it was colored as darkish blue and no point shows the part of reenish lands in there
realmente as belezas deste grande planeta ,mas são poucos que lutam para preservar e nossa BBC uma delas
❤incredible
How do we visit ?
Just a butfuil place such a lucky man. Live it up guys go get it
What about the Antarctic cryovolcanoes?
Antarctica is an interesting place. A land of fire and ice.
🌋 🔥🌋🔥🌋
I thought they were several miles beneath the ice or even in the Ocean.
7:40- A minor correction, I don't want to poke but I want to just point something out. The Realm of Hades or the Greek Underworld wasn't really Hell.That is a common misconception. It was actually the Afterlife in general. Yes it was dark and underground, but it wasn't a realm destined only for the damned. Everyone, good or bad went there. Not everyone that went to the Underworld was punished. Not all f it was torture, fire and darkness. There were regions that consisted of forests, meadows and gardens. But overall, the Greek Underworld wasn't Hell. It was Hell for some, but Heaven for others.
This guy need to be the voice of National Geographic with a little training, r1
i didn’t really understand what he was talking about as far as “watching souls descend into hell” 🤔 🤷♀️
Thats supermans house💯
Good.

How can the piece of brain goes missing without open injuries?
The rich experience could give the fresh ones a mile ahead startup.
As he said, the doctors suspect he had a concussion, so a bit of the brain died off (our brain doesn't like being slapped around inside the skull and can bruise really easily) and over time the body broke it down and removed it.
@@rolfs2165 Exactly, similar to the brain injuries suffered by some boxers and football players
That's why the snow is melting?
Please take a look at the map people This looks like a giant dragon with his nose above the water breathing The head of this thing Looks exactly like an alligator.
Elsa's Castle
Scary, very scary. I wonder if a hot rock cauterized his skull and brain? That's the only conclusion I could come up with.
Cold temperatures in Antarctica freeze blood in seconds.
It was a concussion that left him with some permanent brain damage. It's similar to what happens to many boxers
#replay
Back when there was snow there.
There still is, but for how long... 🤷🏽
Minecraft cave exploration real-life version 🌋
who was paying for all this
logistics support for USA related science in Antarctica is funded by USA taxpayers through the NSF.
All I learned was that volcanos are melting the ice and not humans
Then you didn't learn anything.
Which is consistent for you.
It always amazes me the don’t bring up the active volcanos in Antarctica. Maybe if we throw more tax money at it it will change lol
@@kylek1556 most importantly how green is the ukriane war??? 🤣🤣 zero emissions im sure
I quit watching nat geo for CZcams lol. Find so much better content on here lol.
I guess it's cheaper than paying a narrator, but those text cards are really not good for people with poor or no eyesight. You'd think the BBC can afford someone to read them out.
Jesus is the only way into Heaven turn from your worldly ways ask Him into your life cleanse you from all unrighteousness make Him your Lord & your Savior 1 day YOU will enter the Kingdom of Heaven

Ahem . . . You’d starve in Antarctica on that diet.

Hey! What do you have against plants?
