Horrible today: Live Footage Yellowstone Volcano Giant Magma Dome explosion threatens millions lives

New Yellowstone eruption data changes understanding of volcanic hazards. Last month, the Yellowstone Volcano Observatory (YVO) published its 2023 Annual Report with new insights into lava flow eruptions within the Yellowstone Caldera.Results from dating lava flow eruptions between 160,000 and 70,000 years ago suggest the possibility of multiple lava flows happening at the same time, challenging the previously held belief that lava flow activity was spread out over time. According to the YVO, this suggestion of tight clusters of lava flow eruptions change[s] the way geologists think about lava flow events and volcanic hazards in Yellowstone National Park (YNP).
