Before the supereruptions: Yellowstone’s ancient volcanoes (Yellowstone monthly update – August 2026)
Before the supereruptions: Yellowstone’s ancient volcanoes (Yellowstone monthly update – August 2026)Long before explosive eruptions formed the Yellowstone Caldera and heat from the magmatic system began feeding a dynamic hydrothermal system, there was the Absaroka volcanic range. Remnants of the rugged terrain are still visible on the east and north sides of Yellowstone National Park.

The New Norris Hot Spring (Yellowstone Monthly Update - March 2026)
The New Norris Hot Spring (Yellowstone Monthly Update - March 2026)KABOOM! That’s what Yellowstone is famous for – huge explosive volcanic eruptions. There’s really nothing brewing right now, the magma chamber is mostly solid, but there have been quite a few hydrothermal eruptions and small explosions in both Biscuit Basin and Norris Geyser Basin as water in the hydrothermal system flashes to steam.

Nuvuk video camera 2 dark image
Two video cameras are installed atop a utility pole near the northernmost point of land in the United States at Nuvuk (Point Barrow), Alaska. The cameras point northwest toward the Arctic Ocean and the boundary between the Chukchi and Beaufort Seas. Every half hour during daylight hours, the cameras collect snapshots and video for 10 minutes.
