Yellowstone’s upper magma chamber is just 2.3 miles deep, closer than previously thought, raising new questions about eruption risks. Scientists used advanced seismic imaging to map the magma system, revealing a silica-rich upper chamber and a larger basalt reservoir below. Volatile gases venting naturally reduce pressure but don’t eliminate the long-term threat of a catastrophic eruption. Past supereruptions reshaped landscapes and altered global climates — the last one was 640,000 years ago. NASA’s controversial plan to cool the magma via drilling carries risks and would take millennia to show effects.
