Yellowstone National Park, known for its dormant super-volcano, has experienced numerous hydrothermal explosions recently. The eruption in the Sundhnúka crater in Iceland has ended after lasting 54 days with no visible lava flows. Experts warn of an elevated likelihood of a new magma surge and eruption in Iceland. The Volcán de Fuego in Guatemala has frequent explosions, making eruption predictions relatively simple. Scientists are studying deeper molten rock reservoirs to improve eruption forecasts.
A lightning bolt struck an erupting volcano in Guatemala, wowing spectators who gathered to see the Volcan del Fuego. https://t.co/OhdAkfNH39
‘WHAT ARE THE ODDS?’: You don’t see this every day. A lightning bolt was spotted striking a volcano’s crater in Guatemala at the end of last month. https://t.co/IcKRCCaRho
A volcanic eruption at Yellowstone is unlikely anytime soon, but evidence is growing that a violent hydrothermal, or steam, explosion is possible. https://t.co/5sKyCu0bqs
Catastrophic hydrothermal explosions rocked Yellowstone in the past and could again in the future. https://t.co/5sKyCu0bqs
Studying deeper molten rock reservoirs may help scientists better forecast eruptions. https://t.co/LOV6ToypyA
The Icelandic Meteorological Office has announced an elevated likelihood of a new magma surge and subsequent eruption in the coming days. The Sundhnúka crater series appears to be the most probable location for the eruption, with the possibility of a brief warning period. https://t.co/MbTAG9yGqG
The Volcán de Fuego in Guatemala has really frequent explosions and paroxysms, which makes an eruption prediction relatively simple. So simple you can even synchonize and film a proposal. https://t.co/2nnP4Gnvas
News stories often speculate on whether Yellowstone’s massive magma system will awaken and erupt, but hydrothermal explosions represent a far greater risk today. https://t.co/5sKyCu0bqs

The eruption in the Sundhnúka crater has ended, as confirmed by the Icelandic Meteorological Office. Civil Defense experts conducted a drone inspection, revealing no activity in the crater. The eruption, lasting nearly 54 days, concluded with no visible lava flows. However,… https://t.co/AKNYSfyoKP
Yellowstone National Park, where no magma eruption has happened in 70,000 years, has seen hundreds of hydrothermal explosions of various sizes. https://t.co/5sKyCu0bqs
