A future eruption of the Yellowstone supervolcano or similar mega-volcano could bury large parts of the U.S. in ash, disrupt global climate, and threaten millions—scientists are closely ...

Historically Yellowstone has erupted every about 600,000 years or so, but it has been stagnant for 630,000 years - meaning it is 30,000 years overdue. READ MORE ON VOLCANOES READY TO BLOW ...

A seismic survey reveals a magma cap 2.5 miles under Yellowstone, acting as a pressure-release lid and reducing the risk of a super volcano eruption.

The volcano erupted around 16 million years ago; since then, the molten rock that fuelled it has moved east, and now supplies the geysers of Yellowstone National Park.

Scientists have studied Yellowstone National Park's magmatic system for years, but a new view of the magma chamber shows the long-dormant supervolcano is not at immediate risk of eruption.

A 'secret lid' keeps the volcano in check at Yellowstone National Park, according to new research from Rice University. The cap allows the supervolcano to vent instead of building up pressure.
