It’s still possible that the northeastern portion of the park could erupt in a massive explosive eruption similar to those that have occurred at Yellowstone in the past 2.1 million years.

Using magnetotellurics, scientists were able to produce a detailed picture of the magma beneath Yellowstone, which then allowed them to make predictions about possible future eruptions.

A layer of magma has been discovered 2.4 miles below Yellowstone that releases gases and prevents eruptions, according to ...

SALT LAKE CITY — Scientists have studied Yellowstone National Park's magmatic system for decades, which makes the iconic geysers, mud pots and various hydrothermal wonders possible. But it wasn ...

(NEXSTAR) — There have long been questions about when Yellowstone’s volcanic system could see an eruption, especially after a massive hydrothermal explosion was caught on camera last summer.

Example model output of possible ash distribution from a month-long Yellowstone supereruption. Results vary depending on wind and eruption conditions. Historical winds for January 2001 used here.
