Please let us know what else we could do over the two weeks, I don’t think we’ll stay at Yellowstone for the whole time, maybe potential states we could fly into. ❤️
I'm assuming both of you are old enough to drink so, why not enjoy some legal cannabis in one of the many states it's been legalized in. I mean that's up to y'all but it's just a suggestion. Much love and peace
If you want to try another national park, you could visit Glacier National Park in Montana. Or you could explore the Rocky Mountains in general such as Colorado.
I live about 1,500 mi. from Mt. St. Helen's. We had ash on everything after that eruption. Yellowstone would dwarf the MSH's eruption, but this falls in the category of things NOT to worry about for there'd be nothing one could do.
I lived in Keizer, Oregon (north of Salem), when Mt. St. Helens erupted. We were just about 110 miles away or so as the crow flies. We received just a light dusting, enough to coat the trees and plants with ash. Yakima, Washington, is about 85 miles away from Mt. St. Helens. It was as dark as midnight during daylight hours thanks to the ash. It really depended on the winds.
It's blown a lot more than three times; you can see the trail of calderas extending across the west, but only the last three are within park boundaries.
The Yellowstone region is one of the most seismically active areas in the United States. It experiences an average of around 1,500 to 2,500 located earthquakes per year!
The Yellowstone caldera breathes. The ground rises and falls a lot. As long as it doesn't "hold it's breath" so to say it's stable. The geologist monitor the heck out of it.
When Mt. St. Helens blew in 1980, we were living in Colorado. Mt. St. Helens is in Washington state and ash was all over everything in Colorado. Our family in California had even worse ash. That was nothing compared to what they're talking about here.
If you're going to Yellowstone, I suggest watching some videos on the different animals in Yellowstone and, what to do if you encounter them. Definitely buy some bear mace. I'm sure y'all already know there are grizzly bears in Yellowstone. Just be smart and, follow the guidelines and you'll see some beautiful places & creatures!
Mainly, just stay in your car if you are close to ANY wildlife. Yes, Yellowstone has grizzly bears, but it also has black bears, elk, moose, bison, wolves, and several other dangerous animals. If you want to see the wildlife safely, they have wonderful wildlife tours available.
As soon as I heard that I was calling BS. But maybe they specified the term "active" to a ridiculous point to cam people down... Last I knew the magma chamber was still growing and moving a pond (or was it a lake?).
@@ZM1306 yah, it was displacing an entire lake around 8 or so years ago, haven't paid it any attention, but I remember it was lifting the south end of the lake and making it drain away.
Super volcanoes don’t follow the same rules at regular volcanoes. To be active, a regular volcanoes has to have gone off in the last 10,000 years, but super volcanoes are active if the volcanic activity near the surface, like geysers, to provide proof of a present and active magma chamber. So yea, Yellowstone is a active volcanoes, by it’s own volcanoes group classification.
I've visited Yellowstone. Such a beautiful place and it's very warm in some places it's even hot. They say the main volcano collapsed after its last eruption making a basin like formation you can see the bowl shape in some spots of the park it's so impressive.
As a geologist, I can reassure you that, no we can't prevent it, but also, it won't surprise us, the USGS has seismic and gas monitors on many places in the park, and live video feeds in the most volatile spots. We'll have plenty of warning to evacuate the closest areas from the eruption, but the long-term effects cannot be mitigated.
I had watched a documentary called Super Volcano a couple years ago. Omg it made me paranoid. I've lived in Utah most of my life and based on the documentary I watched our state would be destroyed within like 15 mins, which is insane. But it doesn't stop me from going to yellow stone every other year. Haha
I'm so comforted by the fact they have been studying this for 30 years. This setup is several hundred thousand years old. Always trust the science..lol!
My wife & I absolutely love your channel! Your reactions seem so very real & genuine! I am a retired Marine. That is how I found you! Keep up the good work both of you!
Drive into Colorado and horseback ride the continental divide. My gosh it's a beautiful ride. Estes Park Colorado is a beautiful place to drive. Also Pikes peak is a great drive. But i recommend taking the cogg train. Make sure to drink lots of water so you don't dehydrate at higher altitudes. You'll loose approximately 1 liter of water every 1000 feet you go up.
I live in Buford, Wyoming...on a mountaintop... Prettiest...most quiet and peaceful place I have ever been... No pollution of any kind...clean air...endless blue sky... God bless the USA and all of our patriotic citizens...🙏🏻❤️🇺🇸💝
LOL, those of us near the park, get earthquakes pretty often. Not substantial ones really. I always joke that I'm glad the wind blows east, the reality is it wouldn't matter.
Hi guys, I'm watching this episode and taken right back to the day before my 18th bday... when our Mt. St. Helen's blew. What an experience! The ash clouds were like snow at night... inches all over and we lived several hours away in Longview WA. We got to watch the mudslides into the river... then the rivers overflow. Even houses floating downriver getting crushed by bridges. My science class happened to be on a camping field trip to Olympic Peninsula, where I live now, and we heard the booms clear up there and they were cleat booms from revirtibrating off our mountain ranges. Our teacher was up getting coffee from the general store when he got the news that it was the volcano not blasting in BC as was usually heard. This was an expected event with recent seismic activity.... but no one had any idea of the actual type of event that might come and when. We were rushed to get back home as they were closing the freeway, with us on the north side and home to the south and the mountain inbetween...plus he didn't want to he stuck with a bunch of advanced biology students he h ad busted for drinking the night before (yes, we nerds and future health providers could get a bit wild too, to his disappointment in us). Thank God the bus driver knew back roads home... that's how we made it with all those memories. Our parents wouldn't let us leave home for weeks. Well and you couldn't breathe or drive in the ash without damage to your lungs or engine. That stuff was like glass.... well I guess it was. I had samples I hauled around for years but can't find anymore. Yes quite an experience to remember but so sad for those lost. Even a distant cousin was never seen again. The mountain is beautiful once again, after it's top blown off. Every few years we hear of it or it's cousin, Mt. Ranier, possibly acting up, with increasing seismic activity once again, but thankfully no. A good movie to get the feeling of being around a volcano in action in Dantes Peak. I pray this Yellowstone action never happens... soon I mean.
Just to be clear, Yellowstone is not dormant. The land under the lake has been rising for quite some time which means that magma is entering the chamber below the park. That means that the volcano is in fact active just not actively erupting.
Thank you for another incredible video, guys! My father worked at Yellowstone for about four years. For a guy from Brooklyn, he found it beautiful and amazing. Had some amazing interactions with members of the Blackfoot tribe that lived on it's borders, as well. If Yellowstone erupts, we here in the USA would be royally f##ked. That's all I can say. One well-placed missile to Yellowstone, from an enemy overseas would also be quite the negative thing. On a different note, within the past four or five years, a couple were exploring Yellowstone. The guy slipped and fell into one of the multi-colored 'paint holes', basically a hot spring surrounded by colorful rings. The girl couldn't grab him out of the water. When she came back with the Park Rangers, there was basically nothing left as he had dissolved in the mineral spring.
However, geologists are pretty sure that the magma plume that allowed those massive eruptions has moved enough Yellowstone isn't dangerous currently. As the North American Plate has shifted, it has moved Yellowstone off of it. I believe the theory is the plume is currently under the Eastern Rocky Mountains and the thickness of the crust is preventing any major eruptions.
@@brianeleighton yes it is the theory, that the previous area of supereruptions is slowly slowly cooling. but there are others supervolcanoes in W America, not speaking of the dangerous Cascades guys, Rainier, and others.
I want to recommend both a channel and video called "Forget Yellowstone - These EIGHT Supervolcanoes Could Destroy The World | Answers With Joe" by Joe Scott. This guy's channel is pretty cool and he bounces from one topic to another.
Great video reaction! This incident would potentially create a serious cool down period. Another Maunder Minimum? Europe experienced a mini-ice age between 1645 - 1715 due to decreased solar output and earth volcanic activity. Scary stuff and a hard time to survive! 😨
To be honest, I'm kind of hoping for a new Maunder Minimum. Not just because I like cooler weather (I like to say that if it's cold, you can always wear more layers of clothing; but if it's hot, there's only so much you can take off before getting arrested for indecent exposure), but because it'd give us a few more decades to get our sh*t together and take steps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Only problem is, I'm worried that politicians and lobbyists would use a new Maunder Minimum as an excuse to delay action, and nothing would get done.
The eruption of mt st. Helens on May 18th 1980 , in Washington state . It was quite small but also devastating the force was strong enough to destroy Spirit lake , and blow down an entire forest like they were matchsticks. You should react to that , as a resident of Washington state i would love to see what you think.
If you want some really detailed, educational, scientific data that is also very entertaining check out some of Nick Zentner's videos from Central Washington University. Not exactly reaction video stuff but he presents geology of the Pacific Northwest, including Yellowstone, in an easy-to-understand manner while making it fun to learn.
I remember my parents telling me stories about the 1980 Mount St. Helens eruption. It sounded pretty horrific, and it’s scary to think that Yellowstone could be way, way more destructive and deadly. Hopefully it doesn’t blow for a long long time. It’s a shame we can’t find a way to relieve the pressure and prevent it from erupting explosively. Maybe they will some time in the future. Either way, I don’t think it’s something we need to worry about in our life time, especially since there’s really nothing you can do about it anyways.
The pyroclastic blast would destroy the entire west coast of the United States. They didn’t mention that, they also didn’t mention the tsunamis that would be produced by all those earthquakes. This is nothing more than a one dimension review, the initial eruption. The video also doesn’t cover where all the chunks of earth that are flung into the atmosphere will land. This is a very simplistic description of the volcano. Dormant means a live volcano that hasn’t erupted in years but is likely to erupt again in the future. If and when this eruption happens the population would decrease significantly more than the bubonic plague. The ash cloud would actually block the entire sun for over a year, that’s how the temperature change happens. The time of year and weather pattern would not matter. The eruption would cause a global earthquake not just the United States.
At 12:07, the narrator should have said and the map should read "Mount Pinatubo," in case you're interested in learning more about its 1991 eruption. The story of the 1815 eruption of Mount Tambora is extraordinary. I don't know of any videos, but there is a Wikipedia page about it called "Year without a Summer." As the video mentioned, there were routine frosts across the northern hemisphere during the summer of 1816, causing widespread crop failures and even famine in parts of Europe.
If you plan to visit Yellowstone NP, plan for a few extra days and go 6 hours north into Montana to Glacier NP. It's beautiful, majestic and far less crowded. Best time to go is July or August, otherwise the main road through the park will be closed due to snow.
Two airports that are close to Yellowstone are ( IDA in Idaho Falls ID & JAC Jackson WY )Idaho Falls is good for the west & south park entrance and Jackson for the south entrance. Idaho Falls is a good place to start if you want to save money not as expensive as Jackson.
I love you guys and live in West Yellowstone. =] If you come, say hi, and I will happily show you around! Just make sure you come when the park is actually open. haha I always feel bad when I tell people they can't go in.
When you go to Yellowstone if you go over to Mount Rushmore, try to go a little farther over into Nebraska to Ash Falls and see a small scale example of what happened the last time Yellowstone blew. If you go and see the results of the devastation remember it’s 644 miles away and everything happened so fast it dropped a lot of the animals in their tracks.
Not to be a Debbie Downer, but... if the San Andreas Fault were to have a massive seismic event, if could rattle the Yellowstone Volcano enough to cause it to burst.
You both should check out kentuckys all state choir singing the national anthem in a huge hotel. They are spread through all the floors. It’s very beautiful I think you’d both enjoy it a lot.they sound angelic. I’ve watched other reactions to it and many it brings tears to their eyes. Please please put it on the list of videos to do.
Wow just wow!! I live in the east coast in the state of North Carolina. I sure hope I never see this in my life time or my nephew or niece life time. It would be catastrophe for the west coast.
I live in NC also. There are some things that would also happen that this video doesn’t mention. One of the things that we here in NC would experience that isn’t said is we would have chunks of earth the size of two floor buildings. Landing on us like a military bombs a large area.
You two could drive to Grand Teton national park in about 3 hours. And you really like to drive, the Grand Canyon is roughly a 15hr drive from there...
I visited yellowstne as a kid. We only spent one day there en route to visit family in another state. there was things they called color ponds, they were pretty, but smelled like rotten eggs. A very strong sulfur smell. We saw old faithful shoot it's guyser. Dont remembeer too much except the smell near the color ponds.
IF you do make it to Yellowstone BRING FALL/WINTER Clothes . I arrived in Yellowstone on June 28, 1997 on my way from California to Pennsylvania. Thought id stop and See the park. 1) ITS HUGE !!!! about the size of the Island of Jersey. 2) I came in from the Southern Entrance and as I was climbing over the mountain I was faced with SNOW higher then my car (1995 Dodge Neon). 3) your camp ground WILL be visited by Bears, Wolves and ALL manner of critters so bring Repellants with you. (most stink like a Skunk that you hang on posts around your camp. Also you can use an Electric Tape Fence). 4) you can Freeze one minute then Fry the next so best to wear shorts and a cotton T-Shirt under Sweatpants and a Sweatshirt. get to hot just take off the sweats. 5) BRING Off Bug Spray with Deet or your going to be hating life. 6) Bring a TON of travelers Checks because you will be in the Middle of NOWEAR for 1 - 2 weeks. Although there is 3 gas stations (that I know of) and something like a General Store you can get stuff at, the cost will be High. 7) as with ALL international Travel bring alot of meds for your travel and a Prescription for a refill if you need more alot of meds can be gotten as Generic for under $10.00 USD. 8) the MOST IMPORTANT : ALLWAYS Listen to the Park Guides and Signage. Some of the water at the Flats are no better than Battery Acid and like 140 C hot, or the mud will suck you in befor anyone can help you. so READ the Signs Take a TON of pics and Enjoy your time there. Loves.
I was living in eastern Oregon on May 18th 1980 ...in a little town beside the Columbia River 150 miles due east of Mount Saint Helens .... Prevailing winds took the ash just to the north of us but I saw the southern edge of the ash cloud which dropped 6" of ash just south of Spokane.... It was the strangest weather event I've ever seen .... We saw it from approximately 25 miles away and as it approached there were hundreds of lightning strikes on the front edge ( from the static electricity ) and the ash cloud appeared dark dark blue ... not from the ash which was a whitish grey , but from the ash blocking sunlight reaching the ground... Yakima was midnight dark at noon ... something I will never forget ...
They said the super volcanic explosion in Tonga released a lot of material. here in Bakersfield, CA we saw purple sunsets and that was from minerals released by that explosion into the stratosphere. i should see in my security camera has them
We tend to grow our crops underground these days. Weather weirdness pushed us to it. Volcanoes, tornadoes, Hurricanes, snow, floods...whatever... we're good :)
There is a geological lecturer from the Washington State Univ. (I'm fairly sure) who shows the trial of eruption of that volcano as the continental plate moves in a series of positions all the way out into the Pacific Ocean.
I remember when Mt Salem's whent up and we got dismissed from school and the ash cloud turned black at like 3 pm we hurnkeeed down and left safe but if this goes there's no where on the planet that you'd be safe
Hi guys, fly to Denver , then up to Bozeman, rent a car, enjoy Yellowstone, then drive up to Helena, Montana's capital for a few days, then drive up to glacier national park, it is stunning, you will love glacier, visit whitefish, montana, it is outside the park.
I remember reading on the Horror Channel a synopsis about a movie that read something like 'A disaster movie about a volcano that erupts in, of all places, Yellowstone National Park'. Somebody obviously failed to do some research!
A couple of important rules of Yellowstone! DO NOT get out of your car to take a photo of Bison! You could get gourd by these animals. IT HAS HAPPENED! And do not leave food out, it attracts bears! Do not venture on your own, there are wild animals all over the park! HAVE FUN!
I never realized just how tiny Jersey is until I decided to see how many Jerseys would fit in Yellowstone (the answer is 75 for the curious). I have to drive farther to get to the nearest grocery store than you do to go between any two points on the island. That's just crazy. No wonder you make so many fun videos. What else are you going to do after being on the island for more than a week?
Please, please, please visit Yellowstone. It is amazing. Videos can’t capture it. And, while you are here visit Washington state because it’s the prettiest for snowy mountains, lakes, rivers and hikes.
Before I forget, you guys should react to the other annual tradition on Super Bowl Sunday, The Puppy Bowl!! Search Puppy Bowl Highlights and you will find a good video. It's a silly thing that is really fun, and lets you change the channel from SB pregame for a little while.
President Theodore Roosevelt was the man to start the national parks because he said these places belong to all Americans to visit and enjoy in unspoiled splendor .
Yellowstone is awesome, hope you get to visit sometime soon. If you have time, money, and are willing to drive a lot an epic itinerary maybe to fly into Phoenix and hit the Grand Canyon, head into Utah and see several NP’s there, followed by Yellowstone, then into Glacier NP in Montana and finish in Banff (leaving out of Calgary). Additionally, you could continue on to Vancouver as there is tons of scenery between Banff and Vancouver as well. But you’re basically driving from the southern to the northern us border and beyond, so it is a lot of driving, but maybe not more than 6-8 hours at any one time.
There are many places in the Arizona area that you two would love. Grand Canyon, Zion National park, Bryce Canyon, Hoover Dam. Also if you choose to go to California, they have awesome parks including Redwood & Sequoia National Park. Oregon has a beautiful area called creator lake too. Tbh the whole west of our country is full of jaw dropping beauty, but please be over prepared and be cautious of wild animals. Always stay together and I would also suggest carrying a personal locator beacon just to be safe. Out west is a crazy place that you will love and enjoy but it’s very remote and kind of dangerous for those that have never experienced it. Best of luck to you both and I know your going to absolutely LOVE IT!
The Grand Canyon is in Arizona. Hoover Dam is in Nevada. Bryce Canyon, Zion, and Arches National Parks are in Utah. It will take them a decent amount of time on the road to get to all of them. * Crater Lake in Oregon
@@MichaelScheele yes many of those locations are in the north Arizona Area. They could easily see all those in a matter of a couple days. I have seen that whole list plus much much more on one trip lasting 16 days and driving 8,000 + miles. Very doable 🙂
@@MichaelScheele They are all very close (for the West) in proximity to one another. Arches is on the other side of Utah. From Vegas (good place to get a cheap flight to) you can go see Hoover Dam on your way up 15 to drop by Zion. Zion has a lot of great day hike options. Zion to Bryce is just a trip through the famous tunnel and a jaunt up 89. Down 89 you pass through Grand Staircase-Escalante and Vermillion Cliffs and you get to Meteor Crater, Flagstaff/Sedona, and the South Rim of the Grand Canyon. Flagstaff has a lot of really cool volcanic and Native American sites. Sedona and Red Rocks is just 35-45 minutes down Oak Creek Canyon past Slide Rock on 89A. The Grand Canyon is just a little while north of Flagstaff. That's about a week to a week and a half depending upon whether you stay and hike, or just day trip from one to the next. The key is going close enough to Summer to maximize your daylight sightseeing hours, but avoid the heat of mid- to late-Summer since this is almost all desert. Hiking the Narrows or the Mountain of the Sun at Zion wouldn't be too bad in the heat.
You're adorable with your his/her ear buds. Please check out Red Skelton, comedian in 40's. He recited the Alliance to the Flag. I think many Americans have forgotten what they were pledging to.
A dormant volcano can still erupt if the right conditions arise. An extinct volcano has no more lava activity. You are right about park closures for safety reasons. Volcano National Park has to frequently close parts of the park due to activity. The gasses released can be deadly.
I suggest visiting the California coast. Redwoods Nat'l Park is in my opinion 100feet+ trees on the ocean is a sight like no other. Also I've been in a 7.2 earthquake believe me 8 points on the Richter scale is no joke.
The recent eruption in Tonga was heard, audibly, in Alaska. The pressure wave was seen passing weather stations in San Francisco and across the United States. Yellowstone would make this look like a hiccup. Even the enormous Tambora eruption which saw the pressure wave circle the globe 7 times would be dwarfed by Yellowstone. It would devastate the entire planet. Global temperatures would drop easily 5 to 10 degrees and remain lower for 3 - 5 years. The number of people that would die from crop loss, starvation, etc, would be staggering.
When you arrive, I sure hope you get to see a huge selection of wildlife. Absolutely remember to bring binoculars. You have expressed an interest in small villages. I believe you would enjoy very much exploring the Mississippi River. You could take a riverboat cruise, and visit cities like St. Louis, and Memphis, and New Orleans, each with their own interesting experiences, but there are smaller towns and villages where you can find diverse styles and architecture. Keokuk, Quincy, Hannibal (where Mark Twain was from, and the caverns can be explored), Navoo. Or, you might want to rent a car, and drive along the river, so you can stop when and where you please. Quincy has a good Amish population, and there is a small thrift store which sells some of their handmade items. Keokuk has some exciting old architecture, if I remember correctly, it is in the northeast part of town. It is an experience I know you would enjoy. You would see cultural and environmental changes along the way. Memphis Tennessee is a great place for blues, jazz, and bbq. If you don’t tour the Mississippi River towns during your upcoming trip, you must make it the focus of the next one. Spring is the best time to visit the Midwest. If you visit Philadelphia, autumn is glorious, with trees in spectacular bursts of color. If you ever plan to visit Florida, you must first check for hurricane expectations. Annapolis Maryland is best during summer. The naval academy is there, and they schedule tours. The Annapolis waterfront is cozy and sweet.
I don't worry much about Yellowstone - I live in Rapid City, South Dakota, which is one of the places that would be pretty much destroyed, so I am pretty much dead if it happens.
I wonder if there's anything they can do to relieve the pressure prior to the eruption so it doesn't explode like the way doctors open the skull to relieve the pressure when the brain is bleeding.
I like what one scientist said to another in a documentary about them studying Mt. Pinatubo right before it erupted. "Doc put jam in your pockets because we're about to be toast."
If yellowstone ever goes off, you want to be in the park. You don't want to be around the world and spend the next few months starving and freezing to death.
that's the telltale sign of any eruption, and even some massive earthquakes, the presence of earthquake swarms beforehand. fun fact: these types of volcanoes are hotspots, and Hawaii is also one of these. if you look at a map of the pacific ocean, you can see the trail that Hawaii's hotspot has taken over millions of years.
Please let us know what else we could do over the two weeks, I don’t think we’ll stay at Yellowstone for the whole time, maybe potential states we could fly into. ❤️
I'm assuming both of you are old enough to drink so, why not enjoy some legal cannabis in one of the many states it's been legalized in. I mean that's up to y'all but it's just a suggestion. Much love and peace

We were rushed to get back home as they were closing the freeway, with us on the north side and home to the south and the mountain inbetween...plus he didn't want to he stuck with a bunch of advanced biology students he h ad busted for drinking the night before (yes, we nerds and future health providers could get a bit wild too, to his disappointment in us). Thank God the bus driver knew back roads home... that's how we made it with all those memories. Our parents wouldn't let us leave home for weeks. Well and you couldn't breathe or drive in the ash without damage to your lungs or engine. That stuff was like glass.... well I guess it was. I had samples I hauled around for years but can't find anymore. Yes quite an experience to remember but so sad for those lost. Even a distant cousin was never seen again. The mountain is beautiful once again, after it's top blown off. Every few years we hear of it or it's cousin, Mt. Ranier, possibly acting up, with increasing seismic activity once again, but thankfully no. A good movie to get the feeling of being around a volcano in action in Dantes Peak. I pray this Yellowstone action never happens... soon I mean.
I'm so sorry about your cousin. I remember when St. Helen's blew. So scary, even way out on the East Coast!
Just to be clear, Yellowstone is not dormant. The land under the lake has been rising for quite some time which means that magma is entering the chamber below the park. That means that the volcano is in fact active just not actively erupting.
Thank you for another incredible video, guys! My father worked at Yellowstone for about four years. For a guy from Brooklyn, he found it beautiful and amazing. Had some amazing interactions with members of the Blackfoot tribe that lived on it's borders, as well. If Yellowstone erupts, we here in the USA would be royally f##ked. That's all I can say. One well-placed missile to Yellowstone, from an enemy overseas would also be quite the negative thing. On a different note, within the past four or five years, a couple were exploring Yellowstone. The guy slipped and fell into one of the multi-colored 'paint holes', basically a hot spring surrounded by colorful rings. The girl couldn't grab him out of the water. When she came back with the Park Rangers, there was basically nothing left as he had dissolved in the mineral spring.
Yellowstone blowing up could be an extinction level event. Think nuclear winter at least in the northern hemisphere.
However, geologists are pretty sure that the magma plume that allowed those massive eruptions has moved enough Yellowstone isn't dangerous currently. As the North American Plate has shifted, it has moved Yellowstone off of it. I believe the theory is the plume is currently under the Eastern Rocky Mountains and the thickness of the crust is preventing any major eruptions.
@@brianeleighton yes it is the theory, that the previous area of supereruptions is slowly slowly cooling. but there are others supervolcanoes in W America, not speaking of the dangerous Cascades guys, Rainier, and others.
I want to recommend both a channel and video called "Forget Yellowstone - These EIGHT Supervolcanoes Could Destroy The World | Answers With Joe" by Joe Scott. This guy's channel is pretty cool and he bounces from one topic to another.
Love his channel! He's too funny
I’m from eastern Idaho, so I am at peace with knowing that if Yellowstone blows, I’ll die quickly and won’t suffer like the rest of the world. 😂
Great video reaction! This incident would potentially create a serious cool down period. Another Maunder Minimum? Europe experienced a mini-ice age between 1645 - 1715 due to decreased solar output and earth volcanic activity. Scary stuff and a hard time to survive! 😨
To be honest, I'm kind of hoping for a new Maunder Minimum. Not just because I like cooler weather (I like to say that if it's cold, you can always wear more layers of clothing; but if it's hot, there's only so much you can take off before getting arrested for indecent exposure), but because it'd give us a few more decades to get our sh*t together and take steps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Only problem is, I'm worried that politicians and lobbyists would use a new Maunder Minimum as an excuse to delay action, and nothing would get done.
The eruption of mt st. Helens on May 18th 1980 , in Washington state . It was quite small but also devastating the force was strong enough to destroy Spirit lake , and blow down an entire forest like they were matchsticks. You should react to that , as a resident of Washington state i would love to see what you think.
If you want some really detailed, educational, scientific data that is also very entertaining check out some of Nick Zentner's videos from Central Washington University. Not exactly reaction video stuff but he presents geology of the Pacific Northwest, including Yellowstone, in an easy-to-understand manner while making it fun to learn.
I remember my parents telling me stories about the 1980 Mount St. Helens eruption. It sounded pretty horrific, and it’s scary to think that Yellowstone could be way, way more destructive and deadly. Hopefully it doesn’t blow for a long long time. It’s a shame we can’t find a way to relieve the pressure and prevent it from erupting explosively. Maybe they will some time in the future. Either way, I don’t think it’s something we need to worry about in our life time, especially since there’s really nothing you can do about it anyways.
The pyroclastic blast would destroy the entire west coast of the United States. They didn’t mention that, they also didn’t mention the tsunamis that would be produced by all those earthquakes. This is nothing more than a one dimension review, the initial eruption. The video also doesn’t cover where all the chunks of earth that are flung into the atmosphere will land. This is a very simplistic description of the volcano.
Dormant means a live volcano that hasn’t erupted in years but is likely to erupt again in the future.
If and when this eruption happens the population would decrease significantly more than the bubonic plague.
The ash cloud would actually block the entire sun for over a year, that’s how the temperature change happens. The time of year and weather pattern would not matter.
The eruption would cause a global earthquake not just the United States.
Are you talking about Yellowstone?
At 12:07, the narrator should have said and the map should read "Mount Pinatubo," in case you're interested in learning more about its 1991 eruption. The story of the 1815 eruption of Mount Tambora is extraordinary. I don't know of any videos, but there is a Wikipedia page about it called "Year without a Summer." As the video mentioned, there were routine frosts across the northern hemisphere during the summer of 1816, causing widespread crop failures and even famine in parts of Europe.
I know, i was like Pintabu???
The crazy shit is, there are 7 super volcanos on earth and each one is capable of ending life on earth as we know it.
If you plan to visit Yellowstone NP, plan for a few extra days and go 6 hours north into Montana to Glacier NP. It's beautiful, majestic and far less crowded. Best time to go is July or August, otherwise the main road through the park will be closed due to snow.
When Mount St. Helens blew,we had ash and you could smell it in Pennsylvania.
Fun fact: The Park Service does not keep track of how many people vanish or die in National Parks.
Two airports that are close to Yellowstone are ( IDA in Idaho Falls ID & JAC Jackson WY )Idaho Falls is good for the west & south park entrance and Jackson for the south entrance. Idaho Falls is a good place to start if you want to save money not as expensive as Jackson.
I love you guys and live in West Yellowstone. =] If you come, say hi, and I will happily show you around! Just make sure you come when the park is actually open. haha I always feel bad when I tell people they can't go in.
Millie's hair looks REALLY great like that. Absolutely Love it!!
Happy Super Bowl Sunday Everyone!!!
This just means you better see it before it blows up...
When you go to Yellowstone if you go over to Mount Rushmore, try to go a little farther over into Nebraska to Ash Falls and see a small scale example of what happened the last time Yellowstone blew. If you go and see the results of the devastation remember it’s 644 miles away and everything happened so fast it dropped a lot of the animals in their tracks.
Not to be a Debbie Downer, but... if the San Andreas Fault were to have a massive seismic event, if could rattle the Yellowstone Volcano enough to cause it to burst.
You both should check out kentuckys all state choir singing the national anthem in a huge hotel. They are spread through all the floors. It’s very beautiful I think you’d both enjoy it a lot.they sound angelic. I’ve watched other reactions to it and many it brings tears to their eyes. Please please put it on the list of videos to do.
YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK IS ONE OF THE COOLEST PLACES ON EARTH!!!!!!
Texas is a boutique 2.8 tine the size of the UK. For reference.
Wow just wow!! I live in the east coast in the state of North Carolina. I sure hope I never see this in my life time or my nephew or niece life time. It would be catastrophe for the west coast.
I live in NC also. There are some things that would also happen that this video doesn’t mention. One of the things that we here in NC would experience that isn’t said is we would have chunks of earth the size of two floor buildings. Landing on us like a military bombs a large area.
@@davidhowell1415 Agree. What part of NC are you from?? I live in central NC between Raleigh and Fayetteville.
@@kevinsnipes6511 I currently stay in the Greenville area
You two could drive to Grand Teton national park in about 3 hours. And you really like to drive, the Grand Canyon is roughly a 15hr drive from there...
If you guys are planning to visit some National Parks, check out Arizona! Lots of parks in the American Southwest!
Vary good study on this amazing planet. !
I visited yellowstne as a kid. We only spent one day there en route to visit family in another state. there was things they called color ponds, they were pretty, but smelled like rotten eggs. A very strong sulfur smell. We saw old faithful shoot it's guyser. Dont remembeer too much except the smell near the color ponds.
Dormant means sleeping.
IF you do make it to Yellowstone BRING FALL/WINTER Clothes . I arrived in Yellowstone on June 28, 1997 on my way from California to Pennsylvania. Thought id stop and See the park. 1) ITS HUGE !!!! about the size of the Island of Jersey. 2) I came in from the Southern Entrance and as I was climbing over the mountain I was faced with SNOW higher then my car (1995 Dodge Neon). 3) your camp ground WILL be visited by Bears, Wolves and ALL manner of critters so bring Repellants with you. (most stink like a Skunk that you hang on posts around your camp. Also you can use an Electric Tape Fence). 4) you can Freeze one minute then Fry the next so best to wear shorts and a cotton T-Shirt under Sweatpants and a Sweatshirt. get to hot just take off the sweats. 5) BRING Off Bug Spray with Deet or your going to be hating life. 6) Bring a TON of travelers Checks because you will be in the Middle of NOWEAR for 1 - 2 weeks. Although there is 3 gas stations (that I know of) and something like a General Store you can get stuff at, the cost will be High. 7) as with ALL international Travel bring alot of meds for your travel and a Prescription for a refill if you need more alot of meds can be gotten as Generic for under $10.00 USD. 8) the MOST IMPORTANT : ALLWAYS Listen to the Park Guides and Signage. Some of the water at the Flats are no better than Battery Acid and like 140 C hot, or the mud will suck you in befor anyone can help you. so READ the Signs Take a TON of pics and Enjoy your time there.
Loves.
I was living in eastern Oregon on May 18th 1980 ...in a little town beside the Columbia River 150 miles due east of Mount Saint Helens .... Prevailing winds took the ash just to the north of us but I saw the southern edge of the ash cloud which dropped 6" of ash just south of Spokane.... It was the strangest weather event I've ever seen .... We saw it from approximately 25 miles away and as it approached there were hundreds of lightning strikes on the front edge ( from the static electricity ) and the ash cloud appeared dark dark blue ... not from the ash which was a whitish grey , but from the ash blocking sunlight reaching the ground... Yakima was midnight dark at noon ... something I will never forget ...
They said the super volcanic explosion in Tonga released a lot of material. here in Bakersfield, CA we saw purple sunsets and that was from minerals released by that explosion into the stratosphere. i should see in my security camera has them
We tend to grow our crops underground these days. Weather weirdness pushed us to it. Volcanoes, tornadoes, Hurricanes, snow, floods...whatever... we're good :)
You could fly into Phoenix, AZ and drive north to the Grand Canyon. Or you could go to South Dakota and see the Badlands.
Well, this was a bummer on Valentine's Day!!!!!
I would like a reaction video to the New Madrid Earthquake of 1811-1812. It is pronounced as Mad-rid
I was going suggest that too.
When Yellowstone blows, scientists fully expect it to be a major extinction event.
I'd suggest a redwood forest after yellowstone. Breathtaking in ways you can't imagine. Have fun and enjoy!
Adirondak State park in New York is bigger than the top 5 biggest federal parks.
There is a geological lecturer from the Washington State Univ. (I'm fairly sure) who shows the trial of eruption of that volcano as the continental plate moves in a series of positions all the way out into the Pacific Ocean.
In 2021, Yellowstone saw a return to the higher end of that average, with 2773 located earthquakes.
She doesn't look very comfortable with the information she just heard
You need a dual audio adapter so that two aren't tethered at the ear.
I remember when Mt Salem's whent up and we got dismissed from school and the ash cloud turned black at like 3 pm we hurnkeeed down and left safe but if this goes there's no where on the planet that you'd be safe
Hi guys, fly to Denver , then up to Bozeman, rent a car, enjoy Yellowstone, then drive up to Helena, Montana's capital for a few days, then drive up to glacier national park, it is stunning, you will love glacier, visit whitefish, montana, it is outside the park.
Arches national park. great for beginning hikers. The blue skies and the orange stone is amazing, and only rivaled by Ayer's Rock in Australia
I remember reading on the Horror Channel a synopsis about a movie that read something like 'A disaster movie about a volcano that erupts in, of all places, Yellowstone National Park'. Somebody obviously failed to do some research!
14:09 ua-cam.com/video/zMRrNY0pxfM/v-deo.html 😂😂 "so your tellin me there's a chance YEAHHHH!!"
A couple of important rules of Yellowstone! DO NOT get out of your car to take a photo of Bison! You could get gourd by these animals. IT HAS HAPPENED! And do not leave food out, it attracts bears! Do not venture on your own, there are wild animals all over the park!
HAVE FUN!
I never realized just how tiny Jersey is until I decided to see how many Jerseys would fit in Yellowstone (the answer is 75 for the curious). I have to drive farther to get to the nearest grocery store than you do to go between any two points on the island. That's just crazy. No wonder you make so many fun videos. What else are you going to do after being on the island for more than a week?
Please, please, please visit Yellowstone. It is amazing. Videos can’t capture it. And, while you are here visit Washington state because it’s the prettiest for snowy mountains, lakes, rivers and hikes.
Silly question. I wonder if there is a way to drill in areas and have it 'let off steam' to ease some of the pressure.
Before I forget, you guys should react to the other annual tradition on Super Bowl Sunday, The Puppy Bowl!! Search Puppy Bowl Highlights and you will find a good video. It's a silly thing that is really fun, and lets you change the channel from SB pregame for a little while.
I love the puppy bowl. It’s always on well the cooking is going on.
There is also a kitten bowl
No, guys.
No.
Come now...
Who watches the puppy bowl?
Only the dorks.
Millie would love The Puppy Bowl
Puppy bowl is the only part worth watching.
President Theodore Roosevelt was the man to start the national parks because he said these places belong to all Americans to visit and enjoy in unspoiled splendor .
Yellowstone is awesome, hope you get to visit sometime soon. If you have time, money, and are willing to drive a lot an epic itinerary maybe to fly into Phoenix and hit the Grand Canyon, head into Utah and see several NP’s there, followed by Yellowstone, then into Glacier NP in Montana and finish in Banff (leaving out of Calgary). Additionally, you could continue on to Vancouver as there is tons of scenery between Banff and Vancouver as well. But you’re basically driving from the southern to the northern us border and beyond, so it is a lot of driving, but maybe not more than 6-8 hours at any one time.
There are many places in the Arizona area that you two would love. Grand Canyon, Zion National park, Bryce Canyon, Hoover Dam. Also if you choose to go to California, they have awesome parks including Redwood & Sequoia National Park. Oregon has a beautiful area called creator lake too. Tbh the whole west of our country is full of jaw dropping beauty, but please be over prepared and be cautious of wild animals. Always stay together and I would also suggest carrying a personal locator beacon just to be safe. Out west is a crazy place that you will love and enjoy but it’s very remote and kind of dangerous for those that have never experienced it. Best of luck to you both and I know your going to absolutely LOVE IT!
The Grand Canyon is in Arizona. Hoover Dam is in Nevada. Bryce Canyon, Zion, and Arches National Parks are in Utah. It will take them a decent amount of time on the road to get to all of them.
* Crater Lake in Oregon
@@MichaelScheele yes many of those locations are in the north Arizona Area. They could easily see all those in a matter of a couple days. I have seen that whole list plus much much more on one trip lasting 16 days and driving 8,000 + miles. Very doable 🙂
@@MichaelScheele They are all very close (for the West) in proximity to one another. Arches is on the other side of Utah. From Vegas (good place to get a cheap flight to) you can go see Hoover Dam on your way up 15 to drop by Zion. Zion has a lot of great day hike options. Zion to Bryce is just a trip through the famous tunnel and a jaunt up 89. Down 89 you pass through Grand Staircase-Escalante and Vermillion Cliffs and you get to Meteor Crater, Flagstaff/Sedona, and the South Rim of the Grand Canyon. Flagstaff has a lot of really cool volcanic and Native American sites. Sedona and Red Rocks is just 35-45 minutes down Oak Creek Canyon past Slide Rock on 89A. The Grand Canyon is just a little while north of Flagstaff.
That's about a week to a week and a half depending upon whether you stay and hike, or just day trip from one to the next. The key is going close enough to Summer to maximize your daylight sightseeing hours, but avoid the heat of mid- to late-Summer since this is almost all desert. Hiking the Narrows or the Mountain of the Sun at Zion wouldn't be too bad in the heat.
Yellowstone isn't the only super volcano in America. If it was going to pop the authorities probably wouldn't say anything to avoid panic.
Immortal? Maybe those people who say they are vampires should think again...
Also, living in Alaska seems even better than ever after this
Damn, that’s some scary info!!!!!
You're adorable with your his/her ear buds. Please check out Red Skelton, comedian in 40's. He recited the Alliance to the Flag. I think many Americans have forgotten what they were pledging to.
Odd how the shock wave from the blast isnt mentioned.
A dormant volcano can still erupt if the right conditions arise. An extinct volcano has no more lava activity.
You are right about park closures for safety reasons. Volcano National Park has to frequently close parts of the park due to activity. The gasses released can be deadly.
I'm not afraid..... I have an umbrella.
I suggest visiting the California coast. Redwoods Nat'l Park is in my opinion 100feet+ trees on the ocean is a sight like no other. Also I've been in a 7.2 earthquake believe me 8 points on the Richter scale is no joke.
The recent eruption in Tonga was heard, audibly, in Alaska. The pressure wave was seen passing weather stations in San Francisco and across the United States. Yellowstone would make this look like a hiccup. Even the enormous Tambora eruption which saw the pressure wave circle the globe 7 times would be dwarfed by Yellowstone. It would devastate the entire planet. Global temperatures would drop easily 5 to 10 degrees and remain lower for 3 - 5 years. The number of people that would die from crop loss, starvation, etc, would be staggering.
When you arrive, I sure hope you get to see a huge selection of wildlife.
Absolutely remember to bring binoculars.
You have expressed an interest in small villages. I believe you would enjoy very much exploring the Mississippi River. You could take a riverboat cruise, and visit cities like St. Louis, and Memphis, and New Orleans, each with their own interesting experiences, but there are smaller towns and villages where you can find diverse styles and architecture. Keokuk, Quincy, Hannibal (where Mark Twain was from, and the caverns can be explored), Navoo. Or, you might want to rent a car, and drive along the river, so you can stop when and where you please. Quincy has a good Amish population, and there is a small thrift store which sells some of their handmade items. Keokuk has some exciting old architecture, if I remember correctly, it is in the northeast part of town.
It is an experience I know you would enjoy. You would see cultural and environmental changes along the way. Memphis Tennessee is a great place for blues, jazz, and bbq.
If you don’t tour the Mississippi River towns during your upcoming trip, you must make it the focus of the next one.
Spring is the best time to visit the Midwest. If you visit Philadelphia, autumn is glorious, with trees in spectacular bursts of color.
If you ever plan to visit Florida, you must first check for hurricane expectations.
Annapolis Maryland is best during summer. The naval academy is there, and they schedule tours. The Annapolis waterfront is cozy and sweet.
This is not necessarily true. Supervolcanos can erupt like a super volcano or like a regular volcano
I don't worry much about Yellowstone - I live in Rapid City, South Dakota, which is one of the places that would be pretty much destroyed, so I am pretty much dead if it happens.
Well, I live 200 miles downstream from Yellowstone so I guess I'm effed (along with a few others)
You really need to see the video about the New Madrid, Missouri earthquake that happened in 1812 and 1813.
I wonder if there's anything they can do to relieve the pressure prior to the eruption so it doesn't explode like the way doctors open the skull to relieve the pressure when the brain is bleeding.
I like what one scientist said to another in a documentary about them studying Mt. Pinatubo right before it erupted. "Doc put jam in your pockets because we're about to be toast."
I live in what is known as zone 3 at the south west point of Wyoming.... I am not concerned about Yellowstone exploding.
Not necessarily, just look at Mt Saint Helens eruption in the 1980 ( Washington) Also The Sister Volcano has recent activity (Oregon)
If yellowstone ever goes off, you want to be in the park. You don't want to be around the world and spend the next few months starving and freezing to death.
that's the telltale sign of any eruption, and even some massive earthquakes, the presence of earthquake swarms beforehand.
fun fact: these types of volcanoes are hotspots, and Hawaii is also one of these. if you look at a map of the pacific ocean, you can see the trail that Hawaii's hotspot has taken over millions of years.
Another interesting fact is that there is another super volcano in the USA, it's located in California.
If Yellowstone blows, you want to be right on top of it!
