The Mallard Lake data do mimic the results from White Lake. Norris, though, is pretty independent of the caldera. But Norris hasn't shown much in the way of deformation for the past couple of years -- it's been rather flat. You can explore all of these results for yourself in the monitoring map at www.usgs.gov/volcanoes/yellowstone. The star symbols are GPS stations, so you can click on the ones near Norris, Mallard Lake, etc. to see the deformation happening at those locations.
It was! The ice was up to about half a mile thick during the last ice age about 22,000 to 14,000 years ago. You can read more about this and the preceding ice sheet, and see a map of coverage and thickness, at www.usgs.gov/news/yellowstones-icy-past.
I look forward to these updates each month, fascinating and consistent information presented in a way I can readily digest it :)
I did not know this and I live by Yellowstone. Thanks
I will be working again this summer at the Lake Lodge front desk. I always try to take the boat ride once or twice each summer.
Interesting history lesson!!
Love the history lesson this month and the monthly update.
"He rendered himself obnoxious." What an epitaph!
Thanks for that bit of history and the usual report. It all appreciated.
Nicely done!
Thanks, Mike. ⛲
Thank you for the great history lesson!
Wonderful update!
Thank you!👌
Do the data from Mallard Lake and Norris so closely mimic the White Lake data as to not be informative to present?

Thank you !
I get so excited to see these updates each month. Thank you.
They did talked a little bit about the ship wreck on How The Earth Was Made when they did an episode about Yellowstone.
Thanks for the update!
You're awesome thank you I love people that tell correct information to us all!
Thank you. Live this.
Thank you ❤
Was Yellowstone ever covered with an Ice sheet during a glaciation period?
It was! The ice was up to about half a mile thick during the last ice age about 22,000 to 14,000 years ago. You can read more about this and the preceding ice sheet, and see a map of coverage and thickness, at www.usgs.gov/news/yellowstones-icy-past.
