The Yellowstone supervolcano has been flooded for the first time in its history.
The Yellowstone supervolcano has been flooded for the first time in its history, with water pouring into the volcano’s caldera after heavy rainfall. The landmark, which sits in Wyoming, US, is usually filled with lava and magma but was recently flooded by water from a nearby river. The incident was captured on camera by a group of tourists who were visiting the national park when they spotted the rare sight.
Yellowstone is known as one of the world’s most active volcanoes and has previously erupted three times. However, it has not erupted since 1910 and experts believe that it will be thousands of years before it erupts again. There are no signs that an eruption is imminent but scientists are monitoring Yellowstone closely.
