Yellowstone volcano: ERUPTION could consume entire MOUNTAIN range when magma chamber blows

Thankfully, according to the USGS, there are no current indicators Yellowstone volcano will erupt anytime soon.

And neither is there any evidence the next eruption will be big enough to reshape the volcano’s caldera.

But the agency said it “cannot discount the possibility of another such eruption occurring some time in the future”.

The USGS said: “The least likely but worst-case volcanic eruption at Yellowstone would be another explosive caldera-forming eruption such as those that occurred 2.1 million, 1.3 million, and 640,000 years ago.

“However, the probability of such an eruption in any given century or millennium is exceedingly low.”
