Hi, guys.
Thank you for joining me.
Here's an update.
What's going on at Yellowstone Super Volcano.
There's been a lot of talk about Steamboat Geyser.
No, his activity really has not.
It spiked lately.
It's last eruption was 6 hours and 18 minutes ago.
And that's as one I was making this video before that.
It's last eruption was eleven days, 13 hours before that.
14 days, 17 days, 65 days, 37 days, et cetera.
It has erupted 17 times so far this year, not beating its
record of 29 eruptions last year.
The year before.
I believe it was the year before.
The last eruption evidently wasn't witnessed when the log
was put in, but they went by the discharge volume that came
out of tentless Creek.
Now for the eruption that occurred on October 13.
This is Holy.
Whatever right here for the start just decided to walk over.
Shortest weight ever started with concrete minors, minor
eruptions that instantly grew and grew and grew to start.
She was a dirty girl early in the eruption, a vanilla swirl,
very tall. 1,255 steam cysteine dropped to just add overflow
at 45 minutes.
So that was a good eruption in the last week.
Usgs has 22 eruptions.
The last one was today a 2.0.
They listed it as Wyoming at 329, a magnitude 2.14 .8 km
in depth.
So that would be two point 98, almost 3 miles below sea level.
All earthquakes are measured from sea level.
They also have a 1.7 posted for today same location.
So I have four spectrograms, four monitors here.
This one is a borehole 207.
That's for the Madison River area.
This monitor here is not a borehole, but it's for Norris
Geyser Basin.
The next one to the right is Little West Thumb.
And then we got Lake Butte.
This has got the best signature.
So I'll open this one up larger for you, and we'll go to
its signature.
There it is.
And there's been other earthquakes.
They're only reporting one more for today.
But you can see 123-45, 67, 89.
10, 11, 12, 13 marked in red.
Now, that means the computer picked it up, sends a message
to the geologist there at the University of Utah.
And maybe the scientists in charge, Michael Poland, and they're
supposed to review these earthquakes.
So here we have the borehole for Madison River.
And here's the earthquake as it came in there.
There's it's spectrogram.
Let's see if it really was a magnitude 2.1, and it was it
was actually a two point 13.
I'll bring it down so you can see it there.
It's at the bottom.
It says MD two point 13.
So they reported 1.7 at 232.
But it actually came in at 225.
1.7.
And there's the spectrogram for that earthquake.
It actually was a magnitude two point 16.
So they lied about that one.
And then we got another one that they're not reporting at
209. There's its signature and the spectrogram.
We'll go back to the signature that comes in as a magnitude
two point 15.
And then we got another one that they're not reporting.
I'll make that one bigger for you.
Okay.
That's the 1.7.
So they did not report this one at 225 and 232.
That's the one it's supposed to be the 1.7.
There's a spectrogram.
We'll go back to this one here.
This one, they're not reporting.
Okay.
And we'll go back to this one, make that bigger again so
we can see it.
All right.
So they did lie about that one.
This one is a magnitude 2.0.
This one here.
They did report, right.
It gets so mixed up here.
Yeah.
329.
Yes, that's a 2.1.
So anyways, I get all mixed up here because a lot of them
they don't report then up here, this would have been last
night. We got a series of them and they show up on multiple
monitors. I'll show you the other monitor right there.
This is a Norris Geyser Basin monitor, and they also show
up there.
All right.
So I lined them up side by side.
This is a borehole 207.
You can see multiple earthquakes right here that they're
not reporting.
And they're also over here on the other one.
And you can see all the one.
I don't know if you can see it or not, because there's so
much activity, but there's multiple earthquakes that they're
not reporting.
Surprise, surprise.
So this is a monitor here for the Lake itself.
This here is Little West Thumb, and this is Lake Butte.
And I've talked about these a lot.
All right.
So here's Little West Thumb.
They make that little bigger.
And this is also Yellowstone Lake.
But this was created probably about 160 to 150,000 years
ago from an eruption.
They consider this a smaller little version, a colder there.
So the monitor for Little West Thumb is over here.
And the monitor for Lake Butte is up over here on the right,
right there.
So this is the area where they have the crack where a dike
intrusion of rylote, which is a highly explosive, most explosive
magma you can have.
And we have three areas of hydrothermal vents.
This Canyon is the deepest part of the Lake.
It's 190ft deep, and the water temperature down here is around
340 to 350 degrees.
So here we have the two monitors, Little West Thumb on the
left, Lake Butte on the right.
And you see, we got blobs that's their actual scientific
term, blobs of magma that was coming in the line of melt
rocks do not all melt at the same temperature.
So we got the heat coming up.
And there's a layer here where there are pockets of melted
rock. And you can see the earthquakes here that there was
an incident here.
There you go.
All right.
Let me go back right there at 644, where we had magma come
in and it got so strong that it popped the rock broke the
rock like glass got really loud, and you can see how the
magma came up at 644 in about 45 seconds.
And if we look at the other monitor, Lake Butte, you can
see the same time frame where that heated water.
Yeah.
Let's look at the earthquake signature there, and we'll go
there. We'll get another little incident here.
Let me close this.
It'll be bigger.
All right, let me close that and open that.
More blobs of magma coming in.
Looks like a mixture of harmonic and volcanic tremors.
And then this is what it was showing when I pulled the files
earlier. A little earthquake there.
And we'll go up to this other incident, see if I can find
it right there.
Okay.
Just before midnight.
Universal time.
Yeah.
That's much hotter than what came up here.
That was much hotter.
Find it again.
There it is.
At least it looks hotter.
Try and get the time for Lakeview.
There it is.
Right there.
Up behind it.
You can see the line amount there and the line of melt here.
So anyways, that's it for today.
More of the same not reporting the earthquakes.
Yeah.
A lot of earthquakes on the weekends.
I go home.
There's no one there monitoring the different monitors.
And then they come in on Monday.
And once in a while, they'll report what happened over the
weekend. But generally, they don't do that.
Hopefully, one day when Yellowstone does decide to go off,
it has a large earthquake, but it probably won't.
Outside of the caldera would have a larger earthquake than
the inside of the colder because caldera ground is so brittle
from the uplift that's been going on.
Hopefully, it doesn't happen on a weekend because there's
no one watching what's going on.
Of course, we would all know when it blew.
We would have probably no warning ahead of time because they
don't work on the weekends.
But anyways, that's all I have for you.
Now, if you have thoughts or comments or questions, please
