Erebus height[edit]

According to Mount Erebus, the mountain is 3,774 metres high. According to Ross Island, the mountain is 4,024 metres high. At least one of them is wrong. Gerrit ^CUTEDH

Actually, the Mt. Erebus page says 3794 m which is correct according to the USGS GNIS entry ([1]) and [2]. Please remember to sign your posts. RedWolf 17:51, 25 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Merging[edit]

I think that the two articles should be merged, because if it is on Ross Island, then merge with the article Ross Island. That is all. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.162.16.206 (talk • contribs)

By that logic we'd merge Mount Everest into Asia. I oppose the merge. -- Finlay McWalter | Talk 11:49, 2 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Rain Percent[edit]

I believe it has not rained on Ross Island for two million years. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.56.166.239 (talk) 03:04, 19 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Mount Terra Nova[edit]

Hi there! I am currently translating this article into Afrikaans and have noted that there is no reference to Mount Terra Nova which is on the island. Any reason for this? Regards from the Afrikaans Wikipedia. Oesjaar (talk) 07:40, 3 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
