    • Charlie, I’ve been reading about an increase in volcanic activity in Yellowstone that has closed the park. Do you know if this is true or just hype?

      • Hi Cathie, there was an increase recently – a fissure was noticed in Grand Teton National Park, which is slightly south of Yellowstone. This type of stuff happens all the time though, Yellowstone is a very geologically active region. Unfortunately, whenever there’s a little bit of activity, some rather unscrupulous news organizations try to imply that the recent activity means Yellowstone, a supervolcano, is more likely to blow, but this is not the case.
