Yellowstone Seismic Activity




Bookmark and Share



This morning a friend posted that she had been woken up by a 5.8 magnitude earth quake in Lincoln, Montana. That's about 250 miles north of Yellowstone National Park.  Yellowstone is on our bucket list. We'll do a northern trek to get to Yellowstone and beyond.

"The supervolcano at Yellowstone National Park has been hit with more than 400 earthquakes since June 12. Researchers say it's nothing to be alarmed about, though....... In a statement to the Star Valley Independent, scientists from the University of Utah -- which monitors the volcano -- said the earthquake swarms are nothing new.  “This is the highest number of earthquakes at Yellowstone within a single week in the past five years, but is fewer than weekly counts during similar earthquakes swarms in 2002, 2004, 2008 and 2010.”
