Yellowstone volcano: OVERDUE eruption FEARS addressed in critical USGS volcano update

There is, however, no cause for concern, according to the USGS, and all fears of Yellowstone erupting soon are unfounded.

In a weekly Yellowstone update for the Yellowstone Caldera Chronicles, USGS geologist Michael Poland addressed the eruption fears directly.

The scientist said: “We’ve heard many statements that Yellowstone is overdue – that it has a major eruption every 600,000 years on average, and since the last eruption was 631,000 years ago, well, you can see where this is going.

“Is this true? In a word, no. In two words, no way. In three words, not even close. Yellowstone doesn’t work that way.”
