The Ground Over Yellowstone Is Rising | Is It Going To Erupt?
The Ground Over Yellowstone Is Rising | Is It Going To Erupt?
It has been reported that Yellowstone National Park is situated on top of a massive super volcano, which explains the presence of powerful geysers and hot springs in the area. However, beneath Yellowstone lies a vast magma chamber. In 2015, researchers from the University of Utah discovered that this chamber was even larger than previously believed. They also identified an additional reservoir of magma beneath the main one. The combined volume of magma stored in these two reservoirs is enough to fill the Grand Canyon not just once, but 11 times. One concerning aspect of these magma chambers is that they exert pressure on the ground above them.

Letter to our Queer & Trans Youth
Hey, you. I thought I’d start this letter by telling you a little about myself, just so you know who you’re dealing with. I’m an emotional dad, father to three amazing kids who we met through the foster care system, and whose presence in our lives has really transformed my sense of responsibility to the communities that surround us. The connections we’ve made with one another, with our extended families, and with the communities where we live and look for belonging have catapulted us into this whirlwind of emotional tumult which, while not easy by any stretch of the measure, has also been remarkably healing. I realize ours is really only a one-sided chosen family, since our kids didn’t get to choose to live here, but I’d like to think that they did choose to let us love them, which allowed them to grow to love us. And I think that’s where I want to go with this letter- to a place where you can find belonging and healing- even if the pathway there may be peppered with some emotional tumult.
