While this hydrothermal was the largest to occur within the park since 1986, it was thankfully a far cry from the massive 7,200 foot wide Mary's Bay Crater which formed 13,800 years ago.
-
No, this minor thermal event does not mean "the big one is starting."
-
I'm guessing some tourists needed a quick change of underwear after that.
-
Very well done. No hype, just facts.
-
The end world conspiracy theorists are gonna go buckwild with this one
-
Wow, those folks were very lucky
-
I knew that it was being overly dramatized. Good analysis.
-
any major Yellowstone eruption would be preceded months in advance by multiple warning signs including 1) ground uplift on a wide scale 2) SO2 emissions X1000 3) widespread ground temperature increases 4) harmonic tremors 5) geyser cycle disruptions
-
the Yellowstone volcano's status didn't even come to mind for me. I'm just glad no tourists strayed or were knocked off the boardwalk as a result. a hot spring death is way more horrifying than a classic eruption.
-
I’m glad there’s always facts and no fluff, thank you.
-
Saw this reported on the news, I’ve been waiting for the explanation (from you). Non-geologist here.
-
You're the source I always go to first when stuff happens. Thank you for your work! 👌
-
Was wonder if you'd make a second "emergency" update when I saw this! Really spectacular event, and no injuries.
-
My husband sent me the video of the explosion and I went straight to your page to look for your explanation 😊 Had to settle for USGS update yesterday evening to know that it wasn't an eruption. But I'm so happy that you put a much better explanation up here for me to show him. You're the best at making this stuff easy ❤

Seriously, this channel is a breath of fresh air. All I've heard about this event up until now was an endless stream of mommy bloggers trying like heck to sensationalize whatever footage they managed to get when it happened so they can monetize it. It's been a circus of increasingly hyperbolic end of the world claims from people who don't know anything about this stuff.
-
Just gotta say, I appreciate your videos. It's been almost 20 years since I did first year geology in university and your channel scratches that itch. Also, on this video you did great coverage of what I'd only seen clips of till now. Please keep up the great work!
-
Like taking the cap off of a hot radiator
-
Nobody can say you don't give your customers what they ask for!
-
The internet when literally anything happens at Yellowstone: "Oh yeah! The Big one is coming! END TIMES ARE NEAR!!!" GeologyHub: "Actually..." *Proceeds to make an excellent video explaining what actually happened. The Internet: "...you're no fun."
-
I'm just glad that no one was hurt. It would have scared the shite out of me.
