Hello there,Please don't forget to put your name so we know who we are speaking to. The highest temperatures in Antarctica usually occur around the peninsula area. This section reaches pretty far north and can get days in the 50's and 60's F. Erebus has not had a major eruption for some time. The bursts of gas that cause some material to come flying out of the crater lasts a pretty short time. There may be several of these close together, but the whole thing only takes a few minutes.
Cheers,
Mr. Wood
