PLATE XXXVII MOUNT EREBUS FROM THE N.-N.-W. 



From a photograph by L. C. BERNACCHI (Be. 32, ^-plate), Jan. 22, 1902; 

 taken at a distance of over 40 miles. (Map B.) 



This view better than any other shows the remnant of a former very 

 extensive crater, almost half-way down the north-eastern slope. Within it the 

 cone which now makes the upper third of the mountain's height has since been 

 formed, with a crater whose edges are apparent as wide shoulders near the summit. 

 The present small apical cone has grown up within the last, and now issues puffs of 

 steam either intermittently or in continuous column ; but greater activity than this 

 was rarely seen, and never an overflow of lava. 



Two or three times the canopy of " smoke' 1 was lit up in the winter by a red 

 glow from beneath, but only for a few seconds at a time.
