Mount Erebus is the ultimate proving ground
The Bosch EX14 Extreme Environment Camera is an integral part of the permanent recording equipment at the edge of the Mount Erebus crater – Antarctica’s most active volcano. The camera is currently recording passive convention of the volcano’s lava lake and is ready to capture video of the next transition to explosive activity expected soon. Conditions on Mount Erebus are as extreme as they get – with winter temperatures below -67 degrees Fahrenheit, icy and stormy weather, and corrosive gases produced by volcanic activity.
