Yellowstone National Park sits atop one of the largest active volcanic systems on the planet, where the ground itself seems alive—bubbling, steaming, and erupting with remarkable energy. With more than 10,000 thermal features, including over 500 active geysers, Yellowstone is home to the highest concentration of geothermal activity found anywhere on Earth. At the heart of this dynamic landscape lies the Yellowstone Caldera, a vast super volcano whose last major eruption occurred roughly 640,000 years ago.
