A surprise eruption in Yellowstone National Park shot steam, water and dark-coloured rock and dirt high into the sky Tuesday and sent sightseers running for safety.
In this photo released by the National Park Service, park staff assess the damage to Biscuit Basin boardwalks after a hydrothermal explosion at Biscuit Basin in Yellowstone National Park, Wyo., Tuesday, July 23, 2024.
"We saw more steam coming up and within seconds it became this huge thing," said March, a California real estate agent who was with her mom, husband and their two kids."It just exploded and became like a black cloud that covered the sun." Photos and video of the aftermath showed damaged guardrails and boards covered in rock and silt near muddy pools.
He said the explosion was"on the big side" of eruptions that occur periodically -- usually when no one is around let alone throngs of tourists. Yellowstone is centered on a huge, dormant volcano. The hydrothermal explosion did not indicate new activity within the volcanic system, which remains at normal levels, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.
