Looking forward to a hot time in a few weeks
I am doing a
roadtrip to Yellowstone in a few weeks.
Looks like things are heating up there -- from
National Geographic:
Yellowstone Has Bulged as Magma Pocket Swells
Yellowstone National Park's supervolcano just took a deep "breath," causing miles of ground to rise dramatically, scientists report.
The simmering volcano has produced major eruptions�each a thousand times more powerful than Mount St. Helens's 1980 eruption�three times in the past 2.1 million years. Yellowstone's caldera, which covers a 25- by 37-mile swath of Wyoming, is an ancient crater formed after the last big blast, some 640,000 years ago.
