ESA satellite reveals Yellowstone's deep secret
Satellite images acquired by ESA's ERS-2 revealed the recently discovered changes in Yellowstone's caldera are the result of molten rock movement 15 kilometres below the Earth's surface, according to a recent study published in Nature.
Using Synthetic Aperture Radar Interferometry, InSAR for short, Charles Wicks, Wayne Thatcher and other U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) scientists mapped the changes in the northern rim of the caldera, or crater, and discovered it had risen about 13 centimetres from 1997 to 2003.
InSAR, a sophisticated version of 'spot the difference', involves mathematically combining different radar images, acquired from as near as possible to the same point in space at different times, to create digital elevation models and reveal otherwise undetectable changes occurring between image acquisitions.
"We know now how mobile and restless the Yellowstone caldera actually is. Ground-based measurements can be more efficiently deployed because of our work," Thatcher said. "The research could not have been done without satellite radar data."

YELLOWSTONE CLOSED BY FLOODS AND MUDSLIDES
BBC FILMING DOCUMENTARY ON
JUNE 22, 2004
| EDITORS NOTE: On 7-31-05, I watched a film on the
Discovery Channel with Tom Brokaw, most of which was fiction based on a future scenario
but, based on real science of Yellowstone history, and using real films
from Mt. St. Helens' (1980), Phillipines - Mt. Pinatubo (1991), Hawaii,
and Central America. The film was very well done with real science
interspersed into the fictionalized future scenario. The scenario was based on the real 2003 heat up of the Norris Geyser at Yellowstone and the fact that it has been shown that the land is raising over time. Norris Basin itself has raised 5 inches, and the entire Caldera has raised 35 inches since 1923. It is also known that one end of Yellowstone Lake is 100 feet higher than it used to be and flooding the land at the other end and killing the trees. Trees in various parts of the park are dying because their roots are cooking from the heat under the ground. Bison have died from gas coming out of the holes in the ground. Water is now boiling along the trails. Some people have fallen into this water and been severely injured. Some paths are now closed. In the film, they told people that there might be an imminent small eruption and they should prepare for 3 days of being home, and then evacuated all the people from 100 miles around the caldera. In reality, if there is an eruption, larger than Mt. St. Helens, we would need at least a year's worth of supplies because no food could be grown, farm lands would be useless, temperatures would drop by as much as 15 degrees. Within 3 months, the entire world would be covered by clouds. Millions of people would die - most within the surrounding 100 miles - fewer people would die from inhalation of ash as it spreads mostly east and south from the caldera in widening circles around the area. 600 miles from the caldera is not safe at all. FEMA could not handle this big an event. The U.S. economy would come to a halt. Grocery stores would empty out, airlines, trains, buses, and roads would stop. Though at the end of the film, during the last half hour, Tom Brokaw and workers at Yellowstone Park tried to make it seem like nothing is going to happen, it is already known that the scientists who are monitoring what is going on at Yellowstone is being withheld from the public. The real truth is, WILL NOT BE TOLD HOW BIG OR HOW BAD AN ERUPTION CAN BE, and the last word by the Yellowstone worker was, "Come and visit Yellowstone and see how it really is." This is probably a good idea - people 'should' go see what is going on. Don't just go there and see how pretty all the steam and water is that is shooting up out of the ground. Find out the real science of the area and how it is changing. |

Prophetic Vision of Yellowstone Volcano
March 16, 2007 Diane M. To Holly Deyo: I have been told to share this with you by spirit. Your work has been so meaningful to
me I hope this is useful
for you and Stan.
I had a prophetic vision come to me the middle of February. Since then, I have had more parts of the vision filled in on almost a daily basis. My vision was significant volcanic activity in Yellowstone National Park, on March 17 2007. Although it is shown to me as a large eruption, it does not devastate mankind. The eruption is bigger than Mount Saint Helens. Even though all of the signs are there, the eruption catches people off guard. The Eastern Part of the United States is effected from the ash, and there is some civil unrest, but not too much because people cannot be out in the ash. Most of the civil unrest is surrounded with people trying to get supplies. Colorado is somewhat affected, but not devastated. California escapes most of the effect. Although, there is some crop failure, most citizens of the United States will continue to have access to sufficient food. However, the world will feel the effects, since the United States will not be able to export any significant quantities of food. The parts of the world that are already suffering from food shortages will get worse. This event will start the beginning of a period of food shortages. In the vision I was shown that although several catastrophic events have already happened, this event is to serve as a wake up call, so that people can prepare for the even rougher road ahead.

| 4-14-01 - I had this dream at exactly 2:00 a.m.
DREAM - I was with a woman and her small children, her extended family and a bunch of other people in hilly county. Off to the northwest from where we stood was a mountain or extremely high hill. It seemed to be several miles away. It was a lovely summer day, the sun was shining, and people were strolling around enjoying the weather. The mountain didn't have any snow on top, so it had to have been high summer. All of a sudden, a spout of hot water came up out of the side of the mountain, similar to Old Faithful. But it shot up so high and so far that it sprayed hot water all the way over to where we were, several miles away. We were all rather shocked, and started to talk about it. And while we discussed this event, it happened again, only stronger this time, only it didn't stop, the water started spraying higher and higher and all of a sudden, the whole mountain let loose, water, steam, smoke, dirt, rocks, (like mount St. Helen's) except it just kept getting bigger and bigger. We knew that what went up had to come down, and there didn't seem to be any place to hide. It seemed stupid to run into a wooden building, but that's all I could think of. We ran down a winding path to a wooden building like a garage, between some fruit trees or whatever those trees were. The grandfather was carrying one of the little kids, the woman carried one of the toddlers, and a couple other kids around age 5 or 6 ran alongside. I hurried them along the path, which was actually more or less back towards the mountain that was exploding. Somehow, miraculously, the path we took was still dry, and we ran fast enough that we made it into the garage before the deluge of hot water, dust, ash, and rocks came back down. I doubt that the other people made it out alive, because there was no where else to run. The whole mountain had disintegrated in explosion after explosion. NOTE: I hope I never see a disaster like that again. It was horrendous. (The clock now says 2:22) MORE: I went to lay down to meditate on 'when' this was going to occur. Instead, I saw a white radio. On the front of the radio where the station would be listed, it said, "Microfront', and underneath that it said, "Volcanic Center" and then the word 'underground' came to me.

Subject: Another Yellowstone Dream/Vision Friday October 10,2003 4:44am(cdt) I was in a very large underground military or research facility though not sure where. It was a huge open room with several hundred people working or standing in small groups discussing what appeared to be computer print-outs and maps. I saw rows of computers with men and women sitting in front of them. I saw seismic drums along one wall(about 100 of them)all in a row. Next to each of these were metal bins of some sort and they were catching computer print-outs from these drums? Have never seen metal bins like these next to seismic drums. Several people were retrieving the print-outs from the bins and then didcussing them. The most prominent feature in this open area was a huge screen upon one wall displaying a map of the US, Canada, and Mexico. All the states were outlined and labled, including Canada and Mexico. There was a large Red circle(shaded in)covering Yellowstone Park and some of its surrounding areas. Beyond this there was a very large irregular area of the US and Canada and a tiny part of Mexico shaded in Orange. All of WA, OR, ID, MT, WY, CO, NM, ND, SD, NE, KS, OK, MN, WI, IA, MO, IL, LA, AR were covered in Orange. Northern California, most of NV, UT and, TX were also shaded in Orange. The areas of Canada which border on the US were also shaded Orange with the largest area being to the north and east of MN. Southwestern BC and Vancouver Island were shaded in Orange and a small area of Mexico just below NM and the Big Bend of TX. There were shaded areas extending over the Pacific from the Queen Charlotte Islands down to San Francisco. Only the the norteastern part of AZ was shaded. The western areas of IN, TN, and MS were also shaded in Orange. There were other smaller screens on each side of the huge one. These screens showed the same map of US, Canada, Mexico but appeared to be some kind of weather tracking maps. They showed weather radar, wind directions, the jet streams,satellite images, aviation info and the like. Now I have no clue what exactly was occurring but there was clearly a situation and the people in the room were looking very intense, worried and they were all very busy, not one slacker in the room. From the looks of it, Yellowstone seemed to be at the center of all this activity as it was circled in bright Red on the huge map. I do not know what the Orange shading was about. This is all I recall. I was awakened by a loud electronic sound in my ear and I sat up looked at my clock which read 4:44am(again!). I've been reading my journals and believe this is added information related to yesterday morning's dream which I posted below, and also the dream of October 3rd which I also posted. I wasn't able to get back yesterday due to the weather so will catch up as much as possible now before the next round of storms rolls in. Something's happening and it's not making the news??? Appears that way to me. peace mc |

Hello Dee,
I found your great dreams website a few days ago while researching
visions & prophetic dreams. I first became clairaudient
in 1992 and have experienced visions and prophetic dreams since that time.
My oldest child is an intuitive tarot reader. My second child can
see & read auras. My third child appears to be gifted
with precognition, & my youngest child has begun experiencing prophetic
dreams and visions during the past few months.
After reading about the Yellowstone volcano, I thought it important
to email you, and share a couple of clairaudient messages
I had received...one from 2 years ago, and one just last week. Also,
I wanted to share a prophetic dream my youngest child shared with me on March
17, 2004. About 2 years ago, while casually surfing on the internet,
I received the following clairaudient message: "The sleeping giant
is starting to wake up." Naturally, I immediately tried to research
what "the sleeping giant" was. I concluded it had to be a volcano,
but I had no idea which one. I finally wound up emailing a
volcanologist to ask which volcano was known as the "sleeping giant."
He couldn't help me as he said all dormant volcanoes were considered to be
sleeping. I was stumped. I tried to research the "sleeping giant" some
more but couldn't find anything, and I eventually gave up.....until
I read about what is happening at Yellowstone.
Last week I received a message to purchase 24 candles. It didn't make
sense to me. I thought maybe it was tied to "the 3 days of darkness." Then
I dismissed that idea, because I figured 24 candles wouldn't be enough for
a 72-hour period. Then I did some more reading, & learned
that the candles needed for the 3 day period are supposed to be blessed and
made of beeswax. Then I did some reading on beeswax candles, because
I couldn't really understand the need for beeswax. What I learned was
that beeswax apparently burns cleaner & lasts longer because of
it's purity. I also learned that one 8" beeswax taper
typically lasts about 3 hours. That means one could expect to use 8
candles in a 24 hour period....or 24 candles in a 72-hour period...3 days.
Since my child first began receiving prophetic dreams and visions a few
months ago, one of the difficulties being encountered is that there are never
any dates or times being given for any of the events he has seen. I
suggested that perhaps it would be a good idea to ask to be shown a clock
or calendar when the dream begins to perhaps pinpoint their occurrence.
In the dream, he looks out the window and it's a beautiful sunny day.
All of the snow is gone, and this strikes him as being odd,
since it's supposed to still be winter outside. He decides to
go look at the calendar hanging on the kitchen wall. He sees the
calendar has changed. Instead of it being March...the month is July,
but there is no year. In the bottom right corner are 2 months, one is July
(which he thinks is odd since it is already on the month of July) and the
other month is August. Another strange thing he observes is that although
we have currently a 'Scottie dog" calendar, there is no Scottie dog
for the month of July....just a scene with a lake. Dates are highlighted
in blue circles on the calendar for the month of July: the dates are;
July 3rd, July 14th, and July 24th. However, there are no dates
highlighted for the month of August.
In view of what is currently happening at Yellowstone, I felt
perhaps the messages I had received, along with his prophetic dream
might be of some significance. If I should receive any additional messages,
I would be happy to pass them on. Everything I have related about my
son's dream is exactly as he told me.
If you should wish to share this on your website, you have my
permission.
Love &
Light

RELIEVE STRESSES AT YELLOWSTONE
10-6-03 - Yellowstone ground was 200 degrees
9-17-03 - People who have been at Yellowstone are saying that more and
more areas are being
roped off, but the media isn't reporting this news. The ground is getting
hotter and hotter.
9-12-03 - WHAT'S NEW?
USGS SAYS 'NOTHING'!!! YEAH
RIGHT!!!!

9-7-03 - Numerous micro-quakes occurring
After a 4.4 quake on 8-21-03, 9 aftershocks have occurred along with a
resonance in the rock,
which can cause softening of the rock. If a fissure occurs in the rock, everyone
within 600 miles
should be prepared for the sudden blast. There may be no precursor quakes
prior to a blast at
Yellowstone Supervolcano. If it blows, there will be no life within
600 miles except those people
who have prepared a place underneath the ground. Even airplanes
within the area could be
blown out of the sky according to Larry Park,
an earthquake researcher who was interviewed
on the coasttocoastam.com George
Noory show on 8-25-03. If the Supervolcano blows, it will
cause an immediate nuclear winter of dirt and ash in the air over the entire
world for 2 years.
He also stated that there will be no crops grown in the midwest U.S. for
that same period of time.
Larry Parks warns that people within that 600 miles should make preparations to survive the possible blast.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There is a bulge over 100 feet high in the bottom of Yellowstone Lake.
The area under the northern end of the lake near
Mary Bay say that the bulge could have been formed by carbon dioxide or steam.
The water in the lake which normally
gets no warmer than 66 degrees has now reached 85 degrees. The bulge,
which is about 2,100 feet long, has been
formed only within the last few years. "We're thinking this structure
could be a precursor to a hydrothermal explosive
event, but we don't think this is a volcano," Lisa Morgan, geologist from
USGS said. A Mary Bay explosion
would likely cause a large crater, 1- foot waves, and a release or rocks
and poisonous gas. Mary Bay itself
is the world's largest hydrothermal explosion crater. The USGS team
hopes to prepare a damage assessment this fall.

Yellowstone is a great smoldering pit -a caldera 30 miles across, 45 miles long, and several thousand feet deep - the ground having fallen into the huge underground cavern that was left by the earth-shaking eruptions. Lava then began oozing from the cracks to fill the still smoking caldera.
Yellowstone has gone off roughly once every 600,000 years. Its last eruption
was 640,000 years ago.
The next explosion is already overdue.
Typically, supervolcanoes are not mountains but depressions, huge collapsed craters called calderas, which are hard to detect.
The Yellowstone caldera is 70 kilometres long and 30 km wide.
Eight km beneath the Earth's surface lies a huge magma chamber, containing
vast amounts of molten rock.
As pressure rises in the chamber, the surface is also rising and there
is a measurable increase in heat.
But vulcanologists do not know when Yellowstone will blow.
A natural history of global disasters, portrays a possible Yellowstone
explosion in 2074,
says there have been two such events every 100,000 years for the last two
million years.
The areas where supervolcanoes are most likely to be found, he says, are
subduction zones,
where the Earth's plates are dipping below one another.
The Pacific Rim and southeast Asia are especially vulnerable.
But there is a caldera in the Phlegraean Fields near Naples in southern
Italy. Dr Ted Nield, of the Geological Society of London,
told BBC News Online: "It could do the same as Yellowstone, though on a smaller
scale".

THE YELLOWSTONE CALDERA The most recent caldera-forming eruption about 650,000 years ago produced a caldera 53 x 28 miles (85 x 45 kilometers) across in what is now Yellowstone National Park (Figure 2). During that eruption, ground-hugging flows of hot volcanic ash, pumice, and gases swept across an area of more than 3,000 square miles. When these enormous pyroclastic flows finally stopped, they solidified to form a layer of rock called the Lava Creek Tuff. Its volume was about 240 cubic miles (1,000 cubic kilometers), enough material to cover Wyoming with a layer 13 feet thick or the entire conterminous United States with a layer 5 inches thick. The Lava Creek Tuff has been exposed by erosion at Tuff Cliff, a popular Yellowstone attraction along the lower Gibbon River. The eruption also shot a column of volcanic ash and gases high into Earth's stratosphere. This volcanic cloud circled the globe many times and affected Earth's climate by reducing the intensity of solar radiation reaching the lower atmosphere and surface. Fine volcanic ash that fell downwind from the eruption site blanketed much of North America. This ash layer is still preserved in deposits as far away as Iowa, where it is a few inches thick, and the Gulf of Mexico, where it is recognizable in drill cores from the sea floor.
Lava flows have since buried and obscured most of the caldera, but the
underlying processes responsible for Yellowstone's

The closure is clearly marked and covers most of the western portion of the Back Basin trail starting at the Norris Museum. The foot trail itself is at boiling temperatures and the potential for a steam explosion is considered to be very high. While predictions can be made for volcanic explosions, steam explosions cannot be predicted. Steamboat and Echinus Geysers and all of Porcelain Basin remain open to the public In July, 2003, Yellowstone Park rangers closed the entire Norris Geyser Basin because of deformation of the land and excessive high ground temperatures. There is an area that is 28 miles long by 7 miles wide that has bulged upward over five inches since 1996, and this year the ground temperature on that bulge has reached over 200 degrees (measured one inch below ground level). There was no choice but to close off the entire area. Everything in this area is dying: The trees, flowers, grass and shrubs. A dead zone is developing and spreading outward. The animals are literally migrating out of the park. Then during the last part of July one of the Park geologists discovered a huge bulge at the bottom of Yellowstone Lake. The bulge has already risen over 100 feet from the bottom of the lake and the water temperature at the surface of the bulge has reached 88 degrees and is still rising. Keep in mind that Yellowstone Lake is a high mountain lake with very cold water temperatures. The Lake is now closed to the public. It is filled with dead fish floating everywhere. The same is true of the Yellowstone river and most of the other streams in the Park. Dead and dying fish are filling the water everywhere. Many of the picnic areas in the Park have been closed and people visiting the Park usually stay but a few hours before leaving since the stench of sulfur is so strong they literally can't stand the smell. The irony of all this is the silence by the news media and our government. Very little information is available from Yellowstone personnel or publications. What mainstream newsstories do appear underscore the likelihood of a massive volcanic eruption. Though geologists publicly admit Yellowstone is “overdue,” they have been quoted as stating another massive magma release may not occur for 100,000 or 2 million years. Others close to the story are convinced that a massive eruption is imminent. A source that has demonstrated first-hand knowledge of the park's history and recent geothermal events stated the following: “The American people are not being told that the explosion of this 'super volcano' could happen at any moment. When Yellowstone does blow, some geologists predict that every living thing within six hundred miles is likely to die. The movement of magma has been detected just three-tenths of a mile below the bulging surface of the ground in Yellowstone raising concerns that this super volcano may erupt soon.” ~~~~~~~~ After 8 years, Yellowstone geyser eruptsStaff and agencies15 June, 2006 Wed Jun 14, 9:12 AM ET YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK, Wyo. - A large geyser that hadn‘t erupted since 1998 surprised two hikers near the edge of Norris Geyser Basin with a roar and burst of steam. The geyser erupted at full bore around 5 p.m. Saturday, sending a plume of steam about 100 feet high. Watry, who works for the Yellowstone Association, said they were shocked at the show that unfolded about a quarter-mile away. The eruption coincided with other unusual activity at Norris over the weekend, including the eruption of other sporadic geysers and changes in surface water. Henry Heasler, Yellowstone‘s lead geologist, said Norris appeared to be undergoing a "thermal disturbance" — an infrequent and often sudden shift in activity. Such disturbances result from subsurface activity that brings water closer to the surface. Among other changes, the usually quiet Vixen geyser has been erupting, Pearl geyser‘s water has changed from clear to opalescent, and water elsewhere in the basin has turned murky. Scott Bryan, author of "The Geysers of Yellowstone," said
Ledge was active in the early 1970s until a thermal disturbance in 1974.
After that, eruptions were less frequent until 1979, when it quieted down
completely. |

| Hot Waters Yellowstone's hot springs and hydrothermal features (red) extend far beyond the famous areas accessible from the highways. Most of the hot spring areas and geyser basins are inside the ring fracture of the calderas (dashed black line). A second group are along a buried fault that extends from Mammoth Hot Springs south through Roaring Mountain and Norris Geyser basin, and through the caldera to the south. Inside the caldera, hot spring and geyser areas are concentrated where the late obsidian flows are not — the heat and hot water are presumably still there, but the obsidian seals them in. Includes both active and extinct hydrothermal systems. | |||
Yellowstone Depths Reveal Rock Plume By Larry O'Hanlon, Discovery News April 8, 2005 — A remarkable new view into the depths beneath Yellowstone has revealed what may be a strange "beheaded plume" of hot rock welling up from the Earth's mantle. The discovery not only sheds light on the cause of Yellowstone's amazing geysers and gigantic prehistoric eruptions, but it's a preview of how the latest 3-D seismic tomographic imaging will very soon be revealing hidden structures in the ground under the entire continental U.S., said Yellowstone researcher Bob Smith of the University of Utah. Smith made the announcement last week in the keynote address for at the first national meeting of the Earthscope program. "I call this the ancestral Earthscope experiment," said Smith of the extensive Yellowstone seismic and Global Positioning System (GPS) network. Using Yellowstone's unusually dense network of seismic stations in and around the national park, Smith and other researchers of the Yellowstone Volcano Observatory have been able to gather data of how seismic waves from earthquakes move through the ground there to create a three-dimensional image of the structures deep under Yellowstone. What they have found is a giant column, where seismic waves are slowed by extra hot and partially melted rocks, which extends down 410 miles and then stops. The column is tilted to the northwest at depth, another strange feature, Smith said. Among the possible explanations for the tilted column of hot rock is that it is a plume of material that started way down at the edge of the Earth's core, buoyed upwards and then got caught up in the conveyer-belt-like flow in the Earth's mantle (the region beneath the crust). As the plume got stretched to the east by the easterly mantle flow, it was stretched so thin that it broke apart, was "beheaded," Smith explained. What is seen under Yellowstone, extending down to 410 miles, is just the head of the plume, with rest of it detached and still down in the mantle somewhere to the west or northwest. "This is what really drives the Yellowstone system today," said Smith of the much smaller, but still huge, magma body that lies directly atop the plume and directly under Yellowstone's geysers. More such 3-D views into the interior of North America can be expected in a few years as Earthscope's USArray program marches a 44-mile grid of 400 seismographs west to east over the contiguous U.S. states and Alaska in the next five years, said Smith. The US Array has already scores of seismographs in place in California. "Unlike the 40 years Smith has had to collect data, Earthscope reports all the data for everybody without waiting for years and years," said Kaye Shedlock, of Earthscope. "At the end of five years we'll have a marvelous new set of data," agreed Smith. Other aspects of Earthscope include a continental network of GPS stations to watch in real time as the continent changes shape, called the Plate Boundary Observatory, and an experiment that is drilling directly into the San Andreas Fault in California. http://dsc.discovery.com/news/briefs/20050404/yellowstone_print.html "When it's not horses, and you're still hearing hoof

| When the volcano in Yellowstone National Park blew 6,400 centuries
ago, it obliterated a mountain range, felled herds of prehistoric camels
hundreds of miles away and left a smoking hole in the ground the size of
the Los Angeles Basin.
Rangers tell people to keep their distance from bison and steaming geysers. But there are no signs, aside from nature's own bubbling mud pots and geysers, that visitors are wandering through the caldera of one of the largest active volcanoes in the world. "This is a geologic park, and not many know it," said Robert Smith, a geophysicist at the University of Utah who has spent his career piecing together the story of the Yellowstone volcano. "It's not a bison park. Not an elk park. It's a geologic park." New sensors have allowed researchers to confirm a suspicion that Smith has held for a long time: that the ancient volcano scientists dub "the beast" is a living force. The instruments record a continuing pattern of heaving and bulging and act as an early warning system. Installed without fanfare and hidden from view, the sensitive devices are an acknowledgment that the past could be prologue, that this seemingly serene plateau could blow so hard it would make the 1980 Mount St. Helens explosion look like a sneeze. Stepped-Up Monitoring This summer, Yellowstone was added to the nation's handful of official volcano observatories. The others, smaller but far better known, are in Hawaii, Alaska, the Cascades, and California's Long Valley. The Yellowstone observatory consists of a string of 28 electronic detection stations scattered through the park. Related plans call for at least 100 more monitoring sites. For Smith, who argued for years that the volcano deserved more attention than it was getting, the observatory is sweet vindication. The beast is finally getting its due. What took so long for science to put its ear to the ground, given the fact that geophysicists have known for 30 years that Yellowstone was a major volcanic system? For one thing, Smith said, they couldn't decide whether the Yellowstone system was still active or in its death throes. For another, it doesn't look like a volcano. It's just too big. From a viewpoint on the north rim of the caldera, a few miles from the Yellowstone River's Upper and Lower Falls, the southern edge of the caldera is obscured. It's more than 30 miles (50 kilometers) away—well within the massive park, but lost in the haze. The last huge eruption was 640,000 years ago. Since then, a series of smaller ones have filled in the caldera "like tubes of toothpaste squeezing out all over the place," Smith said. The 3,000-foot-thick (one kilometer-thick) glaciers of the last Ice Age erased edges of the caldera, which is now a broad, undulating plateau rimmed by mountains. The Earth has always shaken periodically around Yellowstone. But without the proper monitoring equipment in place, no one knew how often it happened or why. Smith, who has been investigating here for more than 30 years, set up seismometers and found earthquakes by the hundreds.
The Basin and Range country that extends from California to Montana is
one of the most seismically active regions east of But the earthquakes Smith started tracking three decades ago—15,000 between 1973 and 1998, often in swarms—didn't altogether fit conventional notions of seismicity. There were quakes where you would expect them to occur, along north/south fault lines perpendicular to the stretching. But there were also some along parallel fault lines—activity that seemed to have no relation to the stretching. Smith started thinking about the quakes in combination with Yellowstone's famously unstable plumbing. Was it possible that both the quakes and the geysers were products of volcanic action, of underground magma flows? Hot Spot Atop a volcano, mountains are pushed up by swelling magma; the subsequent explosion then destroys them and engulfs their remains. In 1965 a team led by Robert Christiansen of the U.S. Geological Survey mapped the massive caldera and various lava flows in detail while NASA tried out a new remote-sensing technology in the region. "It was not a surprise it was a young volcano," Christiansen recalled. "It was a surprise it was as young as it is." He turned to Smith, whose seismic data would reveal whether the volcano was still rumbling. Together, the two men were able to see the system for what it was: a very active and large volcano that had sculpted much of the Northwest. Smith and Christiansen saw evidence that a huge plume of magma rose from deep within the Earth and bore through the continental plate. As the plate moved southwest, the "hot spot" left a series of what Smith terms "ancient Yellowstones" across a 500-mile (800-kilometer) swath of southern Idaho from Oregon to Montana. The hot-spot theory was dismissed when it was introduced by Smith in 1973. Accepted wisdom said volcanoes were found at the edges of tectonic plates and that hot spots occur mainly on the seafloor. "It took people a while to catch on," Smith said. The evidence, ultimately, was incontrovertible. There was the blasted topography, the layers of lava flows, the misaligned earthquake faults and Yellowstone's superheated, effervescent plumbing. Only one force was big enough to account for it all: a massive volcano. What Smith still didn't know was whether it was asleep. In the mid-1970s, while surveying an old benchmark put into place when the first roads were cut through Yellowstone in 1923, Smith found that the ground had risen three feet (one meter) in five decades. There could be only one explanation. The volcano was bulging upward. Smith and his students spent two years confirming the observation. By 1979, when he published the findings in the journal Science, even skeptics were becoming convinced that Yellowstone was an active volcano. The caldera rose an inch a year until 1985. Then a swarm of earthquakes occurred nearby. By 1987 measurements showed that the caldera was falling an inch (2.5 centimeters) a year. In 1995 it started rising again. The caldera is now bulging again, toward the southwest. Confirmation that the volcano was active was one of the most important factors in getting a new observatory established here. The movement of the volcano also suggests a controversial new idea forcing many geologists to rethink the very definition of hot spots and how they work. Will It Blow Again? Until Smith came along, most scientists believed that hot spots originate 1,800 miles (2,900 kilometers) down, at the boundary between the Earth's core and mantle. The newly revealed geology of Yellowstone suggests that this hot spot might be very shallow, born of the vagaries of heat and changing pressures or some other process yet unknown. As far as it goes, the scientists work has yet to answer the most important question of all: Will the volcano blow its top again? New studies by a research team at the University of Wisconsin that analyzed tiny crystals within hardened lava suggest a "dying, but still potent, cycle of volcanism." Some people believe that the hot spot is moving under the Rocky Mountains, a much thicker and colder part of the continent, and that it will be effectively capped. Others contend that the cap won't stop the fury of the hot spot. Smith and Christiansen can't say for sure, but they know the volcano is not dead. There is no reason, they say, it won't blow again. Christiansen doubts the likelihood of another cataclysmic eruption any time soon, but he doesn't rule out something smaller. Earthquakes, rock slides, and steam explosions from geyser basins are all possible. A blowout on the scale of Mount St. Helens is conceivable, he said, adding: "We need to be prepared."

| 1-13-99 - DREAM - I was taken to a huge garage type area where certain
people were being gathered to be witnesses or sacrificed people to both handle
the devastation or stave off the suffering for the 7 volcanoes that are going
to blow up all at the same time.
DREAM OF SACRIFICE FOR HUMANITY Date: 01/13/1999 This portent is for 7 mountains linked together to all blow up at the same time. There had been 14 scheduled to be linked to blow up all at once, but the Gods/spirits managed to get it down to seven so mankind didn't have to suffer quite as much. Not all of the witnesses and sacrificial people who were going to clean up from the death and destruction had shown up yet. Here is the whole dream: DREAM OF SACRIFICE FOR HUMANITY by Dee Finney 1-13-99 I was taken to a huge garage-like area where certain people were being gathered together to be witnesses and or sacrificial people to either handle the devastation or stave off the suffering for mankind when the seven volcanoes that were linked together that were going to blow up all at the same time. There had been 14 scheduled to be linked to blow up all at once, but the Gods/spirits managed to get it down to seven so mankind didn't have to suffer quite as much. Not all of the witnesses and sacrificial people who were going to clean up from the death and destruction had shown up yet. The garage where the ceremonies were going to be held was a mess. Some construction was still going on in one area. These men who were building some kind of machinery were making a worse mess. One guy was cutting wood and the sawdust would have been pretty easy to clean up, but he was being careless and spilling varnish in the sawdust and when I swept the sawdust, it smeared the varnish across the floor with it. I considered being a sacrifice so that one mountain wouldn't blow up and asked for a hammer and a nail. All I would have had to do was pound a nail somewhere through my ankle and it would have saved one mountain from destruction. But as I placed the nail against my flesh to pound the nail into my ankle, the pain was intense at every point I chose and I couldn't do it. Even knowing that one swift blow of the hammer would be all it took and it would be over and mankind would be saved that much destruction, I couldn't do it. The thought of the pain I would suffer was too much to even think about. I handed the hammer and the nail back to the carpenter and went back to my meager sweeping job. When I had done all I could, I went into a room where a round table was set up. This table had a rim around it to catch the white paint that was going to be put on some icons or something that were going to be used in a ceremony of some kind. I noticed there were about 10 or 12 bottles of this white fluid about the size of correction fluid bottles. A man named Michael (the archangel?) had been there and had spilled some. I noticed that not only one bottle spilled, all the bottles had been spilled and what was left in each bottle was so little and so watered down, it was useless to even try to do a ceremony with it. At the door, I saw that there was many, many feet of snow and ice that had to be cleared away so that people could get around and spring could come and I was dreading having to get out there and shovel all that snow. There was already nowhere to go with it. But, fortunately, the sun came out while I was looking at the mess and it melted about half of it, so at least I was able to open the door to begin the immense task. I then went to look for the other members who were supposed to be arriving for this ceremony. Not all of them had arrived yet and those who had, instead of quietly contemplating the event that was going to take place, had rented a car and went off sightseeing and partying. They invited me to go with them, but I didn't have the stomach for it, knowing what was coming. It was no wonder that the world changes had to happen, no one was disciplined enough to do even the first sacrifice of or any of the work required to stave it off.

NOTE: 8-9-03 - There have been 19 earthquakes in the Yellowstone Park area this past week, all below a 2.
During the month of September 2003, 80 earthquakes took place in the Yellowstone region! The largest quake was a magnitude 3.3 on September 10th at 10:20 UTC, located about 22.4 miles south southeast of West Thumb, Wyoming, near the southern park border. This earthquake is part of an aftershock sequence that began with a main quake that occurred on August 21, 2003, with a magnitude 4.4 has continued to produce smaller aftershocks.

Maps shows volcanic bottom of park lake
By MIKE STARK
Gazette Wyoming Bureau
New detailed maps reveal long-held secrets at the bottom of Yellowstone
Lake, including explosion craters that stretch nearly a mile and hundreds
of previously undocumented hot-water vents that dot the wrinkled and jagged
floor.
The maps, four years in the making, also confirm that the lake bed is one
of the most geologically active spots in Yellowstone National Park and could
pose a hazard if there is a large earthquake, landslide or other major geological
event.
"The floor of Yellowstone Lake is anything but quiet," said Lisa Morgan,
a Denver-based research geologist with the U.S. Geological Survey, who led
the study.
Morgan and other members of the research team will present their findings
today at the annual meeting of the Geological Society of America in Denver.
Researchers used new surveying techniques, including a camera-equipped robot that traveled the lake bottom, to produce a thorough three-dimensional look at the farthest reaches of the nation's largest mountain lake.
"It does indeed change we what knew or what we thought we knew about Yellowstone Lake by quite a bit," said Robert Christiansen, head scientist at the Yellowstone Volcano Observatory.
The new maps will help scientists at the observatory as they put together a comprehensive look at geological hazards in Yellowstone in the coming year.
He said the new USGS maps reveal underwater features that could explode, possibly shooting hot mud or rocks out of the water or onto the shore. Christiansen emphasized that the threat of that kind of activity is only potential and there is no sign that anything is likely to happen soon.
"I'm not saying this is immediate or that we're telling people this is something to stay away from," he said. "But it's more to be aware of and something that should be investigated."
Some of the earliest travelers to Yellowstone understood the 136-square-mile lake to be geologically active. Surveys and maps have been done along the shoreline and beneath the water, including one of the most detailed that was produced about 10 years ago.
But Morgan said the new technology and high-resolution pictures of the lake floor offer the best views ever.
"It's like having cataracts removed from your eyes," Morgan said of the new maps compared with those produced a decade ago. "It's that big of a difference."
Yellowstone Lake is part of the Yellowstone Caldera, formed by the last major volcanic eruption 630,000 years ago. The lake's deepest point is about 450 feet in a vent near Stevenson Island.
The surveys revealed more than 250 hydrothermal vents - hot springs bursting from the bottom of the lake. Only about 20 had been identified previously.
Morgan said there will certainly be more than 250 vents once all the data from the survey, which ended last month, are analyzed.
"That 250 pertains to only about a third of the lake," Morgan said.
The mapping project also revealed four underwater craters that scientists believe were caused by explosions thousands of years ago. The theory is that sediment or other material formed a cap on a hot spring. Pressure grew in the clogged vent until something - perhaps an earthquake or landslide - triggered an explosion, creating a steep-walled crater and sending rocks and other material flying.
Morgan said the edges of the craters were often peppered with "ejected material," including rocks several meters in diameter.
Mary Bay, on the northern reaches of the lake, is one of the largest hydrothermal explosion craters. One of the recently discovered craters, just south and west of Mary Bay, is almost a mile across, Morgan said.
Radiocarbon dating indicates that most of the explosions are recent in geological terms, with the oldest around 13,000 years ago. The latest may be between 6,000 and 8,000 years old, Morgan said.
The investigation also revealed a series of domes. Morgan and Christiansen speculated that the domes are trapping steam and could represent points where explosions could take place similar to those that created the underwater craters.
As long as the steam beneath the dome and the water above it exert similar pressures, the domes will probably hold. But if that pressure is destabilized, an explosion could take place.
"The domes are really something we're going to look at seriously to see if they are precursors to hydrothermal explosions," Morgan said.
Also on the maps are clear pictures of conical spires more than 20 feet high, lava flows that lace along the rugged bottom, fissures cutting deep cracks, and a fault line snaking 20 miles across the lake.
The intense geologic activity at the bottom of the lake is comparable to some of Yellowstone's best known attractions, including Upper and Norris geyser basins, Morgan said.
"It's another significant hydrothermal basin in Yellowstone National Park," she said. "I think that's probably one of the biggest discoveries in this mapping."
Bob Smith, a University of Utah researcher, said scientists have known for years that the lake bottom was chock full of vents and other activity. But this is the first time high-resolution images have been produced from mapping.
The result, he said, is getting to see perhaps what a geothermic basin looks like without the wear and tear of elements in the open air.
"My gut feeling is this is like what you'd see in a geyser basin if you covered it with water," Smith said. "We're seeing a nice view of a hydrothermal system that hasn't been eroded away by wind, rain and everything else."
Like other geothermal features in Yellowstone, those beneath Yellowstone Lake are driven by an enormous underground magma chamber that heats water from snow and rain percolating through porous rock. The water becomes superheated and creates steam and pressure that is eventually released through vents and other breaks in the ground.
Discovering how much activity was happening at the bottom of Yellowstone Lake took teamwork by seveal agencies, including USGS and the National Park Service, to harness technological and scientific expertise, Morgan said.
"Of the 25 years I have worked for USGS, this has definitely been the most fun," Morgan said.
The bathymetric maps along with computer-generated "fly throughs" of the
underwater landscape will be put in final form this winter and could be available
for purchase by next summer.
 Map courtesy of U.S. Geological Survey The U.S. Geological Survey recently completed a four-year project mapping the bottom of Yellowstone Lake in Yellowstone National Park. This map shows the depths of the lake, ranging from 7,732 feet above sea level (light blue) to 7,420 above sea level (dark blue). The deepest parts of lake are in the middle of West Thumb and in a hydrothermal vent near Stevenson Island. The red lines represent fault lines that run along the lake floor. The pinks and browns on land indicate volcanic rocks from the Yellowstone Caldera about 630,000 years ago, while yellow and dark blue/purple represent older volcanic formations. The high-resolution maps were formed by merging data collected from multi-beam sonar and seismic reflection surveys and a submersible, camera-toting robot. The maps could be available to the public by next summer. |

It Is Time To Cast a Worried
Eye Towards Yellowstone
Larry Park
To date, United States volcanologists have been lucky – Mt. St. Helens and Mt Pinatubo devastating climactic eruptions have given unmistakable warning signs. Many lives were saved by civil authorities responding to geologist’s advice through ‘red zone’ restrictions or evacuations. However, the worst-case scenario is what geologists dread – zero warning. This is precisely the case for a deadly stratovolcano –Mt Rainier - which puts upwards of 100,000 lives at risk where there may only be 15-30 minutes to run for high ground from a sudden Lahar (volcanic mudflow). Yet this pales in comparison to a sudden cataclysmic eruption of a supervolcano. Many times the lives are at risk from these giants. Yet scientists do not know what these giants can do. Their theories are giving a false sense of security. It is imperative that science ‘wakes up’ to the real dynamics, before it is too late.
This article will attempt to reveal the critical phenomena eluding science and the signs that are currently being interpreted through a lacking model of the earth. New technology, not currently in the hands of scientists, does observe the true nature of earth dynamics. The urgent warning sign will be discussed where readers will get insight into what is said officially, what is not said, and what is not known (by official geology) - regarding current conditions of supervolcano Yellowstone.
A few terms defined for article discussion:
Scalar wave – A ‘mass-less’ wave that propagates differently than traditional electromagnetic waves (radio waves). Scalar waves do not oscillate back and forth between magnetic and electrostatic, yet are real waves of energy. Therefore, to sense them, one requires different technology. Traditional radio wave technology will not properly sense pure Scalar waves.
Scalar – A difference in energy potential between two reference points, with a vector. Think of an arrow; the tip to tail length defines the strength; the pointing direction of arrow determines the 3-D direction it is pointing (from-to).
Gyro-scalar – A ‘precessing’ emanation of scalar wave similar to a rate of wobble to spinning top.
Resonance – a natural vibration or a vibration frequency.
The Instruments Were Right
Since the first volcanism article, Volcanoes In California, Idaho, and Pacific Northwest Building Towards Catastrophic Eruptions, the supervolcano Yellowstone has had reports of concerning developments prompting closure of a section in Norris Geyser Basin due to rapid heating of the ground, new steam vents, and increased geyser activity. The LDI II system is accurate (see: www.thetop.com/terraresearch for instrumentation technology).
”Revolutionary technology is observing an alarming deep subterranean process, which is bringing to life an underground system affecting the full state of California, the Pacific Northwest, and eastern Idaho (Yellowstone). Effects of this activity are providing small clues with regard to microquakes or swarms with moderate magnitudes up to 4’s, however the equivalent magnitude of ‘silent’ quake activity in the subterranean process are far greater. Why isn’t mainstream science aware of this? The answer is two reasons: the earth is being very ‘stealthy’ and second, mainstream science theories of crustal mechanics are faulty.”
Aug 21 event: “Rare magnitude 4.4 hits Wyoming near Yellowstone Park, Aug 21 – notable shallow depth of 0.3 miles”
“ …instrumentation that is able to ‘see’ deep within the crust is watching a real-time interaction of all of these volcanic areas”…”Recorded data illustrates a complex plumbing system that is acting as one – or the equivalent of a volcanic version of a much bigger San Andreas Fault except with a ‘Y’ to it.”
Aug 21 event: “The ‘Rare’ M4.4 quake is in line with a eastern arm of the ‘Y’ to Yellowstone.”
New Warnings – Scientists Take Heed
Forgive the urgency, but scientists need to understand that current crustal models may be rendered dangerously incorrect. In deep powerful conditions - that current instrumentation continues to record - the earth can ‘fool’ all leading volcanology to date. Yes, this is correct! Throw out all volcanology models. In very powerful scalar resonance the upper crust itself is alarmingly transformed into a soft state. The presence of thermal anomalies is an ominous sign – coupled with what instruments indicate activity at depth. If a scalar resonance develops near the supervolcano, the magma chamber just a few miles below can breach the roof. The roof is containing the colossal pressure. A sudden change if the crustal strength – i .e. softening – can lead to a dramatic failure with little to no warning.
Other scientific research is recognizing this phenomena of magma recycling from the upper crust – not from deep below. However, the new surprise awaiting science is how it can quickly transform the rock by a ‘scalar resonant’ effect.
Science Awakening to Thermal Anomaly Prior to Earthquake
Science is awakening to the phenomena of crustal heat prior to large earthquakes. Amazingly, science is even commenting on the hopes of predicting earthquakes from this new announcement. The ‘prediction’ word was deemed nearly impossible given reliance on the ‘self organized criticality’ models. Yet, theory still needs some catching up to the real earth dynamics.
What is The Risk – If A Supervolcano Erupts?
To get a sense of what it would be like, the following is a true account from Mt St Helens pyroclastic blast.
On a ridge in the ‘red zone’ less than 5 miles from the summit and moments before succumbing to a massive eruptive blast, USGS geologist David Johnston shouted “Vancouver! Vancouver! This is it!”. This was the last radio transmission from David to USGS Cascades Volcanic Observatory in Vancouver Washington when Mt. St. Helen’s north face bulge gave way Sunday morning May 18, 1980 - unleashing the equivalent of 500 Hiroshima atomic bombs. Over 150 square miles of majestic forest were instantly flattened from a high velocity searing hot lateral blast, leaving defoiled trunks arrayed in layers as toothpicks viewed from above. The mountain disgorged ash continuously for 9 hours afterward. Mr. Johnston’s body was never found.
For a supervolcano, this scenario would be hundreds if not thousands of times more powerful. The devastation of ash – high heat and burial risk – would endanger all life up to 600 miles in radius, not just a nearby pristine forest. Only to understand the unbelievable amount of ash capable of a major Yellowstone eruption, see web site for graphic of historic documented ashfall. Up to 20 states in the US will be either fully affected or partially.
Scientists were puzzled at how the magma chamber in this bulge at 7 miles down could transfer the heat to geyser systems near the surface. It was discussed of a form of deep cracks or fissures, but this was commented as ‘but that’s a long pipeline’. What isn’t considered is how the earth can heat the upper crust by scalar energy – no pipeline or fissure needed (although faults & fissures are natural scalar resonators).
Perhaps the most confusing - or potential of - commentary from a geologist in media regarding ‘activity 125 miles deep’. Geologists have strong data indicating that the magma chambers at Yellowstone range very close to the surface (estimates from geologic reports range from 1 to 3 miles in some areas – this from earthquake P wave data, gravitometric data, and from lack of earthquake occurrence below these numbers, indicates ductile material consistent with magmatic entities, although temperature may not be fully fluidic state). Scientists also know that large earthquakes are able to disturb the large magma chambers at Yellowstone. This was demonstrated by the recent effects from Mag 7.9 Denali earthquake in Alaska. Although true the lithospheric Moho discontinuity may range to 125 miles down, readers of comment of ‘activity 125 miles deep’ may infer that magma has to move all of this distance before being at risk of eruption. Clearly this is not the case – the magma is already poised in threatening chambers.
Destiny Comes To Those Who Listen, and Fate Finds The Rest
The bottom line is this, the transformation of the crust rigidity from scalar harmonic resonance is now happening beneath the feet of those living in and near the Yellowstone Park area. It cannot be felt under foot and conventional science has only been able to monitor it through indirect artifacts like geysers, temperature increases, land deformation, and steam vents. With these data collection methods, the possible amount of time for an advance warning is less than optimal, not including the political ramifications, which will only serve to slow the warning once the scientific data has been ascertained. However, through scalar resonance monitoring, the whole systemic processes now building beneath Yellowstone paint a very clear picture of a major eruption event in its early stages.
History and fiction are filled with accounts of warning signs that were ignored, or downplayed by those charged with monitoring those precursors for the purpose of sounding an alarm. The story line always follows the classic formula. Those who monitor precursor events are silenced or suppressed, by those who delegated their own personal responsibility for being aware, by making it someone else’s job. In the final analysis however, Mother Nature could care less who is responsible.

INFORMATION BY LINDA MOULTON HOWE
Yellowstone National Park is in northwest corner of Wyoming.
In 1872, legislation was passed making Yellowstone the world's first national
park
which covers 2.5 million acres of forests, hot springs, geysers and hot mud
flats.
Yellowstone National Park in the northwestern corner of Wyoming. Yellowstone is its own very large volcanic system with boiling geysers and mud flows that have entertained the public for decades. Yellowstone has not had any volcanic eruptions for tens of thousands of years, but in the summer of 2003, one public trail heated up to about the boiling point of water which is 212 degrees Fahrenheit. This week I talked with the United States Geological Survey's' scientist-in-charge of the Yellowstone Volcano Observatory, Dr. Jacob Lowenstern, about the anomalous heating.
Jacob Lowenstern, Ph.D., Scientist-In-Charge, Yellowstone Volcano Observatory, U. S. Geological Survey, Menlo Park, California: "Most of the anomalous behavior has been related to changes in the shallow hydro-thermal system. They are shallow processes that are going on. Yellowstone is a volcanic system, but most of what we see at the surface is related to the hydrothermal system which is well above any deep magma. Heat that rises off that magma, heats up the hydrothermal system. There is a lot of hot water. It's boiling underneath the ground. Steam rises. Hot water rises up to the surface. This year more boiling has been observed in the Norris Geyser Basin that's one of several geyser basins scattered around Yellowstone.
IS IT TRUE THAT SOME OF THE SOIL TEMPERATURES THERE REACHED AS HIGH AS 200 DEGREES F?
That's right. Of course, that's a normal temperature for any steam vents at Yellowstone. That's the temperature of water when it's boiling, so that's a common temperature. But this summer, there was a variety of new vents that formed and many of them were right around the trail that goes through the back basin of the Norris Geyser Basin. So, obviously when you have soil temperatures and new steam vents forming right along a trail, it presents hazardous conditions for the public, so the park service prudently decided to close that area.
SO, THAT'S HOW IT BECAME PUBLIC YOU HAD TO CLOSE A TRAIL BECAUSE THE TEMPERATURE OF THE SOIL WAS SO HOT?
That's right.
WHAT DO YOU THINK IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN WHERE ALL OF THIS SOIL HAS GOTTEN SO HOT?
Well, we don't really know. It's very possible that it will just form new thermal areas and there will be new hot springs and fumeroles on that trail and there won't be any more problems aside from that. This is not that uncommon in the Norris area. There's another area called the "Ragged Hills" just to the west and that's been growing for the past ten years slowly with increased boiling in the area and new thermal features that are spreading to the west.
AS A GEOLOGIST, DO YOU WORRY ABOUT VOLCANIC OR MAGMA FLOWS EVER COMING OUT IN YELLOWSTONE PARK?
It's always a possibility. It's not a high probability in any given year. Certainly, there have been many eruptions in the Yellowstone area. There have been some that have been very large.
But they've occurred in the distant past. the most recent was 640,000 years ago. Since then, there have been about 30 different eruptions, most of them much smaller, all of them much smaller. the most recent lava flow was about 70,000 years ago. So, it's always possible that we'll get another eruption in Yellowstone and that is something that we do monitor and look out for, but it's not something that is likely in any given year.
COULD AN ERUPTION OF MT. RAINIER INTO ACTIVE VOLCANIC ERUPTION, OR ONE OF THESE POSSIBLE 9 POINT ON THE RICHTER SCALE SEISMIC EVENTS OFF THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST CAUSE SOME KIND OF MAJOR ERUPTION IN YELLOWSTONE?
An earthquake that far away well, it's always possible. It's always possible, but it's not something that we would think would be likely."

Yellow Stone ~ All these letters about Yellow Stone. Earthquakes, YES... Super Volcano , NO.
" There will be the mighty shaking of the Earth , and the rocking back and forth of the Praies in the areas known as Wyoming, and Montana. A new Mountain range will be born there. They will be called the Co-operation Mountains, as the forming of these new mountains will shock people with the display of force the Earth will show. Rivers will reverse their directions, And in many low lying and altered areas their will be rivers of magma, Rivers of Fire, as spoken about in Old Norse Myth's.
When the Yelow Stone begins to kick up anf shake, it willl be a signal that the Final Days are upon us. For this is one of the great valves of the Royal Tetons, the Paradigm shift will commence, making way for the New Earth. The Yellow Stone will become as the Himalayas and rise thousands of feet....... In thid Birthing of Fire, mankind will again see the coming of the Masters of Old."

The Ninth Thunder
All my relations,
Long have I talked about the upset of the tectonic plates
Blue Geyser was called Iris Spring
in 1886. Due to a misread map label, in 1904 the feature was inadvertently
given its current name. It was observed to erupt to heights of over 60 feet from 1993 to 1996. It became almost dormant in 1997 and has remained very
quiet ever since. Blue Geyser's last observed eruption was in February of
1997.
Ledge is the second largest
geyser in the Norris Geyser Basin, capable of shooting water 125 feet into
the air. Because it erupts at an angle, however, the water will sometimes
reach the ground 220 feet away. It has at times in the past erupted at regular
intervals of 14 hours. The geyser became inactive between 1979 and late 1993.
It erupted on a fairly regular cycle of every four to six days in 1994 and
1995.
Little Whirligig got its
name because of its close proximity to Whirligig Geyser. Whirligig was so named because while erupting its water swirls in its crater. The orange-yellow
iron oxide deposits around Little Whirligig make it one of the most colorful
features in Porcelain Basin. It has been dormant for several years.
The hottest of Yellowstone's
geothermal features are steam vents (fumaroles). Black Growler Steam Vent,
on the hillside in front of you, has measured 199 to 280 degrees F (93 to
138 degrees C). A plentiful water supply would help cool these features;
however, steam vents are usually found on hillsides or higher ground, above
the basin's water supply. They rapidly boil away what little water they contain,
releasing steam and other gases forcefully from 
The world's tallest active
geyser, Steamboat can erupt to more than 300 feet (90m), showering viewers with its mineral-rich waters. For hours following its rare 3 to 40 minute
major eruptions, Steamboat thunders with powerful jets of steam. As befitting
such an awesome event, full eruptions are entirely unpredictable. In recent
years, Steamboat has had three major eruptions. This photo is the May 2,
2000 eruption.
Dramatic behavioral changes
have characterized Porkchop Geyser during the last decade. Once a small hot
spring that occasionally erupted, Porkchop Geyser became a continuous spouter
in the spring of 1985. The force of the spray caused a roar that could be
heard at the museum over 660 yards (603m) away. On September 5, 1989, Porkchop
Geyser exploded. Rocks surrounding the old vent were upended and some were
thrown more than 216 feet (66m) from the feature. Porkchop Geyser is now
a gently rolling hot spring.
Minute Geyser's eruptions have
changed dramatically. Its larger west vent is clogged with rocks tossed in
by early visitors when the park's main road was near this trail and passed
within 70 feet of the geyser. Minute once erupted every 60 seconds, sometimes
to heights of 40 to 50 feet (12 to 15 meters). Eruptions now are irregular
and originate from its smaller east vent. Removal of the west vent's
mineral-cemented rocks would require the use of heavy equipment resulting
in severe damage.
Echinus (e-KI-nus) Geyser
was a perennial crowd-pleaser which typically erupted every 35 to 75 minutes.
Late in 1998 this geyser altered its interval and now erupts only a few times
per day at best. Its pool fills gradually with water; then suddenly, bursts
of steam and water explode 40 to 60 feet (12 to 18 m) skyward. Eruptions
usually last about 4 minutes but in the past major eruptions have lasted
as long as 118 minutes. The major eruptions were believed to be caused by
a secondary water source which has mysteriously vanished. There has not been
a major eruption in 3 years. In late 1998 Echinus' performance diminished
and became erratic. As of mid-1999 its eruptions remain unpredictable.
