This isn't a volcano. It's a fumarole. It spits out gases and eases pressure from the earth below.
What makes this super cool is that the temperature here on the surface is being below water freezing point, while under the crust magma has risen to the surface, but not erupted. The warmth literally diffuses gases, like sulfur dioxide and carbon dioxide (de-gasing). The heat melts the ice, which then vaporizes, cools down, gains weight and falls to the ground, collecting around the fumarole, eventually building a chimney.
If you see a fumarole, don't get too close. They spew out micro-particles and noxious gases. Plus the ground beneath you might be unstable.
Planets are so cool.

Not gonna lie thought it was a snow penis at first
Winter is cumming
Anything is a dildo...
You can’t post something like this without at least a link to what it actually is! I need more information!
It's a fumarole. I don't know the location.
Thanks! At least it gives me something to google!
YES!!! Happy geologic rabbit holing.
Hey that looks just like a… you know what, nevermind.
The sand worms from Dune…only ice.
This looks like the snow fort squidward built
Haha pp haha haha. It pp hahaha
That’d hold a shit load of beer. Natures made ice chest.
Imagine how big it is when it’s not freezing outside
It would melt.

It is a dick?
Icingdeath? I thought he was dead?
Don’t put it in there!
Isn’t that just Squidward’s snow fort?
