Even this scale of an eruption, they predict, would only change global temperatures by roughly 2.7 degrees Fahrenheit. Could Yellowstone Erupt Again? Yellowstone's supervolcano remains active, but ...

A VEI 4 eruption would be closer to 0.1 cubic kilometers (0.024 cubic miles), like the 2021 eruption of La Soufrière on the island of St. Vincent in the Caribbean, while a VEI 6 eruption would ...

It’s still possible that the northeastern portion of the park could erupt in a massive explosive eruption similar to those that have occurred at Yellowstone in the past 2.1 million years.

In Yellowstone National Park, in the northwest corner of Wyoming, lies the Yellowstone caldera, one of the most famous supervolcanoes on Earth. The supervolcano's last eruption was 631,000 years ago.

Before that, 2.1 million years ago, the Yellowstone system was the site of an even larger eruption, about 2,500 times larger than that of Mount St. Helens in 1980.

The most recent volcanic eruption at Yellowstone was a lava flow that occurred around 70,000 years ago, ... it is even possible that Yellowstone will never see an eruption on such a scale again.

New mapping of the magma lying beneath Yellowstone National Park sheds light on where volcanic activity is shifting, and the likelihood of a full-scale eruption.

Should Yellowstone approach eruption, we wouldn't know whether it was on the cusp of small-scale destruction or large-scale calamity. Credit: Bennington et al, Nature/DOI 10.1038/s41586-024-08286-z ...
