We know that a supervolcano, Yellowstone, is located practically in our backyard. The region is constantly going through geological changes, as there was a recent discovery of a new volcanic vent in August 2024.
According to the U.S. Geological Survey, a park scientist noticed last summer “a blowing steam column through the trees and across a marshy expanse” at the Norris Geyser Basin in Yellowstone. After a close examination, it was discovered that the temperature near this opening was over 170 degrees Fahrenheit. Back in 2003, there was a similar vent that was discovered on the other side of this lava flow.
