Yellowstone National Park is considered a top destination for Americans and non-Americans alike. Its geysers, spewing water at any given time leaves everyone in awe. Yellowstone National Park, however, is not just a park. It is also home to Yellowstone Super Volcano. The geysers, though magical in reality means a hyperactive movement beneath the surface, all packed with power and intensity.
This is definitely a disaster waiting to happen. Yellowstone Super Volcano obviously is not just a simple volcano. If it erupts, it may trigger series of natural disasters known to wipe out living creatures in the face of the earth.
According to Express, there was a footage recently showing that Yellowstone Super Volcano is on the brink of eruption because it appeared to be simmering beneath the surface of the caldera. A caldera is a super-sized crater only found in ones classified as a super volcano.
Yellowstone Super Volcano's petrifying new footage shows that ash is rising beneath the surface of the 2,805m tall supervolcano in Wyoming, US. This definitely brought concerns that the ash seen may suggest that it is about to erupt.
There is even a new video of Yellowstone Super Volcano simmering, with bright flashes of volcanic activity. There were places seen steaming which never got to have steam before. This again strengthened the theory that the super volcano is indeed packing power for its eruption.
This alongside other reports suggests that Yellowstone Super Volcano is to erupt in 2016. It was earlier reported that the eruption is set this year, but with a month and a half left, it can still happen.
This is not to cause panic in anyway. The footage taken has to undergo series of validity test, and if valid be used for further study of the supposed impending explosion. Further testing in the area, particularly the volatile area in Wyoming is needed to confirm results.

A lot of curious citizens then are asking how much of a destruction the Yellowstone Super Volcano can bring if it indeed erupts soon. According to Nature World News, the Yellowstone Super Volcano's eruption is not to happen in 10,000 years.
If the super volcano erupts, it is certain to cause global catastrophe, particularly in the mainland US. it is believed to leave the entire mainland US and some parts of Canada uninhabitable because thick, unbelievable amount of ash will cover the vast area.
The Yellowstone Super Volcano eruption is compared to 2,000 times more powerful than the eruption of Mt. St. Helens in 1980. Again, the best thing to do is to be updated and aware of what is going on and not to panic.
