Isn’t there a super volcano under it?

Pretty much the entire park is a volcanic caldera - a collapsed eruption cone roughly 35 miles across. As seen by the geysers - and thousands of other fascinating hydrothermal features in the region - it remains quite active.

A huge chunk of the history of America is also writ large across the landscape both in the park and in the surrounding area.

I should plan another trip out there. It’s been too long.
