Mount Erebus' summit crater rim was first achieved by members of Sir [[Ernest Shackleton]]'s party; Professor Edgeworth David, Sir Douglas Mawson, Dr Alister Mackay, Jameson Adams, Dr Eric Marshall and Phillip Brocklehurst (who did not reach the summit), in 1908. Its first known solo ascent and the first winter ascent was accomplished by British mountaineer Roger Mear on 7 June 1985, a member of the "In the Footsteps of Scott" expedition. On January 19–20, 1991, Charles J. Blackmer, an iron-worker for many years at [[McMurdo Station]] and the [[South Pole]], accomplished a solo ascent in about 17 hours completely unassisted, by snow mobile and on foot. | Mount Erebus' summit crater rim was first achieved by members of Sir [[Ernest Shackleton]]'s party; Professor Edgeworth David, Sir [[Douglas Mawson]], Dr Alister Mackay, Jameson Adams, Dr Eric Marshall and Phillip Brocklehurst (who did not reach the summit), in 1908.
