Yellowstone Park: what can be written that has not already been written. First National park in the world ( 1872 ) Yellowstone National Park spans an area of 3,468.4 square miles (8,983 km2),[1] comprising lakes, canyons, rivers and mountain ranges.[8] Yellowstone Lake is one of the largest high-altitude lakes in North America and is centered over the Yellowstone Caldera, the largest supervolcano on the continent. The caldera is considered an active volcano. It has erupted with tremendous force several times in the last two million years.[10] Half of the world's geothermal features are in Yellowstone, fueled by this ongoing volcanism. Lava flows and rocks from volcanic eruptions cover most of the land area of Yellowstone. The park is the centerpiece of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, the largest remaining, nearly intact ecosystem in the Earth's northern temperate zone ( Wikipedia) The history of exploration is a long story but first seen by John Colter in 1806 his stories and others by Mountain men of the 1800s were dismissed as Legends. Stories of geysers and boiling water and mountains of hot rock were not believed until the 1860s when explorers were sent by the government. Imagine being one of the first to see the area.
