The park actually is the caldera of the volcano. The current caldera, or giant crater was formed 640 thousand years ago, and is so enormous that it was only first seen with the advent of satellite photos from space.
The Volcano generally erupts on average approximately every 600 thousand years, and has shown recent signs of an impending eruption.
Yellowstone is a place of consistent change. From Magical abundant forests, to cracked open desolation, frozen lakes, & boiling rivers. Enter this incredible park, and follow packs of wolves, bison, & bears.
A Prehistoric earth-scape preserved in the state of Wyoming, Yellowstone offers an unparalleled look back into history. With snow covered mountains, steaming geysers, and 2 tons bears, its a place to go that no other park in America can offer.
Evidence of fossilized animals indicate the last eruptions effects over 1000 miles from Yellowstone. However most of the United States was buried under several feet of ash, and the skies over 3.4 of the world filled with poisonous sulfuric gas.
Scientist estimate Yellowstone has been active for over 10 million years, with 3 eruptions in the last 2,000,000 years.
Below Yellowstone flows a lake of hot Volcanic Magma, which is constantly gaining pressure against the earths mantle at Yellowstone Park. Eventually the pressure below Yellowstone will cause an explosion, releasing over one thousand cubic kilometers of molten lava, rock, ash & deadly gases miles into the air above Yellowstone.
Scientist have been measuring the recent rising of the north lake which has moved as much as meter in certain areas while moving into the near by surrounding woods. This along with multiple earthquakes indicate the impending events that are likely to take place soon.
When will it happen?
