I have heard that in July 2003 the Park rangers closed the entire Norris Geyser Basin because of the deformation of the land and the excess temperature. I was told that it is an area that is 28 miles long by 7 miles wide and has bulged upward over five inches since 1996, and that the ground temperature on that bulge has reached over 200 degrees. I have also heard that everything in the
Norris Geyser Basin area is dying including the trees, flowers, grass, etc. And that a dead zone has developed and is spreading outward and that the animals are literally migrating out of the park. Is this information true or is this information in error?

This is NOT true. There have been some relatively small hydrothermal disturbances at Yellowstone lately that had local effects. We have no reason to suspect that anything is building toward a volcanic eruption in the next few years (or centuries, for that matter). It is certainly possible that Yellowstone can become volcanically active again, and it is likely if you consider timescales of 10,000 to 100,000 years. If our monitoring systems show any information that an eruption is becoming more likely, you can be sure that we will inform that Park and the public! It's our job. Until that time, most of the information in the press is uninformed speculation, and to some degree
wishful thinking by "disaster specialists."
