Mount Erebus, Antarctica, is a volcano with frequent lava-lake eruptions known as strombolian eruptions. The larger of these eruptions create strong seismic waves and have a characteristic seismic signature that can be analyzed through three-component cross-correlation to distinguish smaller strombo...
