-'''''[[Caloplaca saxicola]]''''' is a small bright orange crustose [[lichen]] that grows on rock all over the world, including [[Antarctica]]. It is commonly called rock firedot lichen, jewel lichen or rock jewel lichen. ''C. saxicola'' is one of the few [[lichen]]s found in [[Westarctica]], and is likely the most southerly plant life. The [[Caloplaca Hills]] were named for this lichen, which grows on the rocks there. This lichen occurs over a portion of northern North America as far north as the Canadian Boreal forests, where Black Spruce is a dominant tree.
+'''[[Mount Erebus]]''' is the second-highest volcano in [[Antarctica]] (after [[Mount Sidley]]) and the southernmost active volcano on Earth. With a summit elevation of 3,794 meters (12,448 ft), it is located on [[Ross Island]], which is also home to three inactive volcanoes: Mount Terror, Mount Bird, and Mount Terra Nova. The volcano has been active since about 1.3 million years ago and is the site of the Mount Erebus Volcano Observatory run by the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology. A volcanic rock from Mount Erebus known as the "Erebus Rock" is included as a part of the [[Crown Jewels of Westarctica]].
