Geotimes June 2005 Jake Lowenstern	Truth, Fiction and Everything in Between at Yellowstone The Yellowstone caldera is a volcano, and it almost certainly will erupt again someday. It's possible, though unlikely, that future eruptions could reach the magnitude of Yellowstone's three largest explosive eruptions, 2.1 million, 1.3 million and 640,000 years ago.
