On 23 January 2026, the Sentinel-2 satellite passed over Ross Island, Antarctica, and caught Mount Erebus — the southernmost active volcano on Earth — its dark, radiating flanks the only exposed rock in a frame otherwise ruled by ice. Sea ice fractures into scattered floes on one side of the image; the volcano's slopes climb across the other, streaked with bare scree where nothing else on the continent shows through the snow.

Second Antarctica piece in the catalogue, a companion to The Dry Valleys No. 1 — a bonus find, since the frame caught both the drifting pack ice and the volcano in a single pass.
