We just learned about the Transantarctic Mountains.
Another part of Antarctica is Mount Erebus.
Antarctica is the coldest place on the earth, but it actually has volcanoes!
Mount Erebus is the second tallest volcano in Antarctica, and it is active.
That means that it spits out things like smoke or bits of rock from time to time.
This volcano has been active for over a million years, but it is still not hot enough to melt the south pole!
