June Supervolcano. Volcano Yellowstone in America: forecasts and latest news

Klyuchevskoy volcano erupted three times in two days - on June 12 and 13 and threw out ash for 7 km, 8 km and 5 km; Shiveluch, picking up the "baton", on June 14 threw ashes to a height of up to 12 km above sea level, reports Kamchatka Volcanic Eruption Response Team (KVERT).


No ashfall was observed near the Klyuchevskoy volcano in nearby settlements. The plume of ash at the maximum ejection spread 135 km southeast from the volcano towards the Kamchatka Bay. There are no tourist groups in the giant area. There are no international air traffic routes in this area.

The volcano has been assigned an "orange" aviation hazard code.

The Shiveluch volcano on June 14 at 16:26 GMT (local time - in the early morning of June 15, at 4:26) emitted ash to a height of up to 12 km above sea level, while the ash plume split into two clouds, one of which carried away wind in a northeasterly direction from the volcano - to the Karaginsky Bay, the second - in a southerly direction from the giant. As a result, ashfall took place in a number of settlements of the region. Thus, in the village of Kozyrevsk, the village of Maysky, Ust-Kamchatsky district, the villages of Atlasovo, Lazo, and in the village of Taezhny, Milkovsky district, the thickness of the ash was 1 mm.

The village of Klyuchi of the Ust-Kamchatsky region was also covered with ashes, its thickness was 3 mm. Because of the ashfall in the village, a school and a kindergarten were closed. Local residents wear gauze bandages. There were no complaints from people.

The life activity of the population in the affected settlements is not disturbed.



« ... History teaches that the lack of unity of human society on spiritual and moral foundations and the joint actions of people on the planet, continent, region in relation to preparation for large-scale cataclysms and disasters results in the destruction of most of these people. And the survivors die from incurable diseases, epidemics, self-destruction in wars and civil strife in the struggle for sources of life support. Trouble, as a rule, appears suddenly, causing chaos and panic. Only advance preparation and unity of the peoples of the world in the face of a threatening natural danger gives humanity great chances for survival and joint overcoming of difficulties in an era associated with global climate change on the planet.

Many have heard of the constant danger posed by the Yellowstone supervolcano. Here you can find out what the supervolcano itself is, where it is located and what consequences its eruption may have. Also here you will learn about the Yellowstone volcano the latest news.

Yellowstone volcano in America: the latest news of 2020

According to the latest data, during 2018 there was a sharp increase in seismic activity and gas release.

Seismologists recognize that the eruption will lead to large-scale destruction.
So, the Steamboat geyser woke up, which had been inactive since September 2014, suddenly erupted on March 15, April 19, April 27 and May 4.

Before that, from June 12 to June 20, 2017, 464 earthquakes were recorded in the area of ​​the volcano, with a power of up to 5 points (then its strength was reduced to 4.5 points). Of these, 3 earthquakes are of the third magnitude, 57 are of the 2nd magnitude, 137 are of the 1st magnitude. Another 157 shocks were assessed as zero. In total, more than 1,000 earthquakes were recorded last year.

Volcano Yellowstone- this is not the usual volcanic cone, but a huge funnel in the ground, the so-called caldera. The existence of a supervolcano was only known with the launch of satellites into space.

If you still don’t know where the Yellowstone volcano is located, then I’ll clarify - in the Yellowstone National Park in the USA. The caldera is located in Wyoming. Its dimensions are amazing - 55 by 72 kilometers, and this is a third of the entire territory of the park. The area of ​​the caldera is 4000 sq. km. - 4 times more than New York and 1.5 times more than Moscow. In popularity, it competes with.

Yellowstone itself is considered one of the most seismically active points on the planet - earthquakes constantly occur here.

Yellowstone supervolcano: previous eruptions

In total, science knows 3 powerful volcanic eruptions that occurred approximately every 600 thousand years. As a result of them, the Island Park and Henrys Fork calderas were formed. The most powerful was the first eruption, which was 15 times the power of the Tambora volcano eruption in 1815.

Scientists expect that in the coming years, the volcano will wake up and cause serious climate change and the destruction of most people and species of plants and animals.

Recently, many earthquakes have been occurring in his area, which can be the final push.
Therefore, I propose to watch a short video that tells about what awaits the planet during the eruption and what the disappointing consequences will be. In fact, America will be destroyed, and most people will die of starvation and epidemics.

Yellowstone volcano in America today: latest news

In late August, an increase in the number of earthquakes was noted near the Long Valley Caldera in California. All this can become an impetus for a supervolcano. And the destruction will be much more powerful than the earthquake in Sumatra in 2004, which caused the same thing.

Also during this period, there was a massive fish kill in the Yellowstone River, which originates near the caldera. On August 19, 4,000 dead fish (trout and whitefish) were found. Therefore, the authorities closed a fairly large area to the public.

According to one version, on October 12, 2016, a lot of UFOs filmed on a webcam were seen over Yellowstone. And here, with the help of a webcam, you can watch the geysers in the volcano valley live.

In view of the events that have taken place over the past 2 years, scientists think that the explosion could take place much earlier:
1 The water temperature in rivers and lakes has risen (in some places to the boiling mark), geysers have become more active.
2 The number of earthquakes has increased.
3 The soil in the caldera area rose by 178 cm in mid-2014, later data not published.
4 In the park, helium-4 gas, which is formed before the eruption, began to be noted.

5 The general seismic activity has also increased in recent years.
6 In May 2015, an aggressive movement of magma was noted.
7 In April 2014, many animals began to run away from the park, such as bison, deer and bison.

Here are some pro.

It is possible that there is some grain of truth in all this, but in any case, humanity is unlikely to be able to prevent a catastrophe.

Read on for more information about the supervolcano and Yellowstone National Park itself.

Yellowstone volcano on the USA map

Yellowstone is a high mountain plateau at an altitude of about 2.5 kilometers. Sam is located at an altitude of 2805 meters.
There are many other interesting places in the park:

  • geysers;
  • waterfalls.

The park contains the Upper Valley of Geysers, where 150 fountains operate. Among them is the "Old Faithful" Old Faithfull.


There are even more waterfalls in the park - 290, and the largest of them - the Lower one - reaches a height of 94 meters, but still inferior to many waterfalls.
The park itself is named so because golden stones were found in the canyon of the Yellowstone River. Yellowstone translates as "yellow stone".
In 1872, on March 1, the world's first national park was founded here, which included the Yellowstone Volcano. The total area of ​​the park is almost 9000 sq. km. and divided into 5 parts:
- Mammoth;
— Roosevelt;
— Canyon;
- Lake;
- Country of geysers.

The photo below is a view of the Mammoth geothermal springs.


There are many entrances to the park, but only from Montana (near Gardinger) you can drive all year round on yellowstone volcano, latest news about which you can read on our website in this topic.

Yellowstone National Park is located on the border of 3 states of the northwest:
— Idaho;
— Montana;
- Wyoming (this is where the famous yellowstone caldera).

Last year is already behind us, but researchers from various fields are still summing up the results of the past months. For example, 2017 may not have been the most active year in the history of volcano sightings, but it certainly was quite spectacular.

Of the approximately 1,500 active volcanoes in the world, almost 50 erupt every year, emitting clouds of smoke, ash, toxic fumes and fiery lava. In 2017, their list included Shiveluch from Russia, Villarrica from Chile, Mount Sinabun and Agung from Indonesia, Turrialba from Costa Rica, Piton de la Fournaise from Reunion Island, Kilauea from Hawaii, the Mexican volcanoes Colima and Popocatepetl, Bogoslof from Alaska, Sicilian Mount Etna, Manaro Vui from Vanuatu and many others. In this compilation, 40 unique shots are waiting for you, taken right during the eruption of these angry peaks!

1. Before you are clouds of ash erupting from the Russian volcano Shiveluch from the Kamchatka Peninsula. The photo was taken at dawn on December 5, 2017.

2. A local resident from the village of Tiga Pankur (North Sumatra) watches the eruption of Mount Sinabun on November 3, 2017. Sinabun woke up after a long hibernation back in 2010, and for the first time in 400 years! The next eruption occurred in 2013, and since then the volcano has remained quite active.


3. This unique shot was taken on the night of February 12, 2017, and in it the plumes of ash erupting from Sinabun reflect the glow of hot lava.

6. This photo was taken on a long exposure (shooting mode), so you can enjoy the view of lightning piercing puffs of ash and the reflection of hot lava flowing from the vent of the Piton de la Fournaise volcano. This volcano is one of the most active in the world, and the spectacular image was captured on the night of February 3, 2017 on Reunion Island.

7. Reunion Island (French overseas territory), July 14, 2017. Piton de la Fournaise spewed real fountains of lava that day.


8. In this aerial photograph, you can easily see how the lava slowly flows down the slope. Apparently, the researchers do not worry about their lives at all. Probably because the lava is actually in no hurry to cover them with deadly heat. Piton de la Fournaise, February 1, 2017.

9. Bogoslof - an underwater stratovolcano in the Aleutian Islands, barely rising above the water. On May 28, 2017, a satellite flew over Alaska, filming what the Bogoslof eruption looks like from space. The eruption began about 18 minutes before this photo was taken, and by the time the satellite appeared directly above the volcano, the height of the cloud had already reached a height of 12 kilometers above sea level. The cloud turned white (instead of the usual ash) due to the large amount of water that fell into the low mouth of the volcano and actively evaporated due to high temperatures. Bogoslof erupted several times during the first months of 2017.


10. A more detailed image of the eruption of Bogoslof. Pay attention to the areas near the base of the volcano, where tephra plumes, consisting of volcanic material ejected into the air, are especially noticeable.

11. The Himawari 8 weather satellite was also flying in the Alaska region when Bogoslof began spewing clouds of smoke on May 28, 2017. The volcanic cloud then grew to a height of 12 kilometers above sea level and then dissipated due to the winds and the movement of other air masses.

12. Before you is the same Bogoslof volcano, but already on June 23, 2017. This is how the eruption looked from a distance of 67 kilometers - on the island, Mutton Cove Bay (Unalaska, Mutton Cove). The local research observatory estimated the height of the volcanic cloud at as much as 11 kilometers.

17. A jet of lava breaks off a cliff into the sea from a height of 21 meters, on January 28, 2017. The Kilauea volcano began to erupt molten rocks at the beginning of the year, and in appearance this sight resembles a giant fire hose flowing into Hawaiian waters. On February 2, the channel of the jet collapsed, and the lava changed its route.


18. The Hawaiian coast of Kona Kohala suffered a lot from the Kilauea eruption. On December 16, 2017, lava flows even reached the ocean itself, swallowing up a large part of the forest along the way.

19. December 6, 2017, geologists from the Hawaiian observatory noticed a breakthrough of fresh lava on the frozen slopes of Kilauea. The basalt lava flowing down the slopes of the mound quickly cools and becomes covered with a rough dense dark crust, but in the end it is still unable to contain new flows of hot rock, which you can see in this picture.

20. Volcanoes take an important part in shaping the relief around the world. So on the Hawaiian island of Kamokuna, the Kilauea eruption led to a series of coastal collapses. The photo was taken on October 4, 2017, but before that day, the island had split apart at least 3 more times in previous months. The island itself was shaped by volcanic activity, and new lava flows are constantly reshaping this young and fragile land. The picture was taken on October 4 using long exposure mode in moonlight.

21. Sometimes fumaroles appear in the crater area - cracks or holes on the slopes of volcanoes that emit hot gases. In some of these fumaroles, scientists often observe bright yellow sulfur deposits. In the picture in front of you is the vicinity of the Kilauea crater, where fumaroles are increasingly covered with a dense carpet of "Pele's hair" (volcanic glass strands made from solidified lava). The moisture released by fumaroles accumulates on these very threads, like dew or frost on grass. The frame was taken on May 28, 2017.

23. This is what the clouds of ash and smoke erupted by the Popocatepetl volcano looked like on November 10, 2017 for observers from the commune of Tepehitec, the Mexican state of Tlaxcala (Tepehitec, Tlaxcala). Popocatepetl, located 55 kilometers from Mexico City, has been worried more than once since the end of last September, but significant eruptions have not yet occurred here.

24. Before you are steam and ashes emanating from the vent of Manaro-Vui. The volcano is located on the island of Ambae (Ambae) of the Republic of Vanuatu in the South Pacific Ocean. The sudden awakening of Manaro Vui in September 2017 greatly disturbed local authorities and residents throughout the area, which is why by mid-October almost all the islanders were evacuated for safety. According to local media reports, the Vanuatu chiefs made a procession to the shores of the Voui crater to conduct a religious ritual there and offer a highly valued animal (a pig) as a solemn sacrifice to the keeper of the lake. On the banks of the Vui, the chief Tari One (Tari One) uttered special words, and only after that the pork dish and other gifts were thrown into the water to propitiate the elements.

The Yellowstone Volcano has long been of concern not only to scientists, but also to ordinary people. He attracted the attention of scientists around the world. They roughly named the dates when one of the most dangerous volcanoes on the planet could erupt.

Regarding the behavior of Yellowstone, scientists have written many articles and put forward many theories.

There are suggestions that the volcano will wake up in the coming years, but most are of the opinion that this catastrophe will happen over the course of a millennium. It is difficult to say what to believe, each theory backs up its correctness with a set of specific data.

As you know, Yellowstone is located on the territory of the reserve. Here, at almost every step, various equipment is placed, including all kinds of sensors that record every breath of the volcano and even the slightest changes.

Scientists, based on the analysis of recent data, concluded that the eruption of Yellowstone will occur in this century. No one can name the exact date of the beginning of the eruption. This can happen at any time.

Magma rises under Yellowstone

And now we are told that "a piece of molten rock 750 kilometers long is rising" right under Yellowstone:

“Scientists are monitoring a piece of molten rock 750 km away rising under the Yellowstone caldera. The supervolcano, located in Yellowstone National Park, erupted three times in the history of the Earth - 2.1 million years ago and 640,000 years ago. Volcanoes typically explode when molten rock known as magma rises to the surface, melting the Earth's mantle due to shifting tectonic plates. However, geologists have reported how the magma chamber above the magma plume is slowly rising from year to year.”

Let's hope that nothing significant happens to Yellowstone for a very long time.

But experts say a full-scale eruption will occur one day, and when it does, it will be able to create a "volcanic winter" that will make it almost impossible to grow crops and eventually lead to terrible famine in many regions.

Scientists have found out when the Yellowstone supervolcano will provoke a large-scale catastrophe

A group of scientists have made predictions about when the Yellowstone supervolcano will cause a large-scale catastrophe on Earth. The US-based facility may become fully operational in the not too distant future.

According to researchers, Yellowstone may come to full “readiness” in less than 100 years. For the Earth, this implies a disaster of frightening proportions, since the eruption of this supervolcano can be compared with the explosions of about a thousand atomic bombs. If this happens, the US will turn into a "dead zone", completely covered in ash. The rest of the earth's continents may plunge into darkness. Scientists from Russia voice no less pessimistic forecasts on this score.

How will the Yellowstone explosion happen?

Volcanologists suggest that before the start of the explosion of the Yellowstone volcano, the earth will rise by several tens of meters. In parallel with this, the temperature of the soil will warm up to 70°C.

The explosion will immediately release volcanic ash, which will rise into the sky for about 50 km.

This will be followed by an ejection of magma, which will cover a giant area. All this will be accompanied by powerful earthquakes.

In the first minutes after the explosion, about 200 thousand people will die from red-hot lava alone. Then people will die from subsequent earthquakes and tsunamis.

Ultimately, the number of deaths will reach 10 million. All this will resemble the legendary Armageddon.

It is worth noting that volcanic ash particles are so tiny that respirators cannot prevent them from entering the lungs. Once in the human body, the ashes begin to harden and turn into stone.

Thus, people living even thousands of kilometers from the volcano will also be in mortal danger.

In addition, the explosion of the Yellowstone volcano will provoke the formation of an ozone hole, as a result of which the level of radiation will rise sharply.

The territory of North America and the southern part of Canada will turn into a scorched desert.

The explosion of Yellowstone will cause the eruptions of hundreds of other volcanoes around the earth. Within a few days, all living things will die from earthquakes, magma emissions and suffocation.

In a few weeks, huge masses of ash will cover the sun, and cosmic darkness will descend on Earth.
