In this video, we dive into the stunning new research that’s turning the scientific understanding of Yellowstone on its head. Using a technique called magnetotellurics, scientists have uncovered a shift in the park’s volcanic activity—away from the historically active western section and toward the northeastern region near the Sour Creek Dome. This discovery reveals that Yellowstone’s supervolcano is not only active but changing shape beneath our feet.
