Horrible Today: Live Footage of Yellowstone hydrothermal Explosion Threatens Thousand of Visitor
Small hydrothermal explosions happen almost annually someplace in Yellowstone National Park-like the 1989 explosion of Porkchop Geyser. Every few thousand years, large ones can also occur. The park is home to the largest-known hydrothermal explosion crater on Earth-Mary Bay, on the north side of Yellowstone Lake, is 1.5 miles (2.4 kilometers) across and formed about 13,000 years ago.
Monitoring stations in the Yellowstone region have historically been installed outside thermal areas to avoid the noise caused by all that boiling water moving around beneath the surface-that noise can make it hard to detect small earthquakes and subtle ground deformation. But in response to the need to better monitor hydrothermal hazards, the 2022-2032 Volcano and Earthquake.
