Welcome to 1871. Caldera first discovered by John Colter who went on to describe the volcanic activty in the area.

It last erupted an estimated 640,000 years ago and registered VEI 8.(VEI - Volcanic Explosivity Index....... which is big. Mount St Helens registered a VEI 5 or thereabouts IIRC.

Read the article, people. Everyone already knew there was a magma plume under Yellowstone. This new study just confirms it and its relative size.

What we need to worry about is the Morlocks. If they dig deep enough, they could trigger a catastrophic eruption.

You are going to need a time machine to worry about them

I would quote something from Box (evil Burl Ives) but it's been too long.

Dammit now I'm going to look him up on wikipedia to find out why he played that roll.

Wait, I think he was evil before in some tennesee Williams play. Gotta look that up too

Wish we had magma nothing ever happens around here

It was caused by Global Warming, I'm sure...

Don't see where anyone else linked this article; it includes a 3d map of the plume.

Old news is old, old, old, old, old, old news.

The plume or "hot spot" has been there for millions of years.

The "Yellowstone Caldera" is only called that because that was the last time that "Hot Spot" erupted.

The "Hot Spot" is so old that it started-out in UTAH. It keeps moving in an East-Northeast direction.

In a few million years, it will migrate to Montana, then Canada.

I'm just fine with it being under Canada.

Big is something of an understatement...

Even the smallest of the mega-eruptions we know of in the geological record (at Yellowstone and elsewhere) are literally orders of magnitude greater in size than the largest eruptions in modern recorded history.
