A dramatic hydrothermal explosion occurred in Yellowstone National Park’s Biscuit Basin, sending boiling water, steam, and mud high into the air. Fortunately, no injuries were reported, and the event was not linked to the supervolcano beneath the park.
A hydrothermal eruption at Yellowstone National Park on July 23rd sent plumes of steam and debris skyward, prompting evacuations and temporary closure of the area. While the eruption was relatively small compared to past events, it serves as a stark reminder of the powerful forces at play beneath the park’s surface. Scientists believe a blockage in the park’s plumbing system may have triggered the event.
