This isn't in Yellowstone. It's near Meeteetse, south of Cody. It's a slow-moving landslide that has been active for decades and not related to volcanic or earthquake activity.

You may have heard of radium in connection to French scientists Marie and Pierre Curie. But what is it, and why was an early researcher looking for it in Yellowstone National Park? This week's #Yellowstone #CalderaChronicles is radioactive, man! ow.ly/eNvC50ReH56

What living organism in Yellowstone has red hot love in its name? Thermophiles! And we love them too! These heat-loving cyanobacteria were responsible for the oxygenation of our atmosphere, converting light energy into oxygen more than 2.4 billion years ago. #HappyValentinesDay

If a geyser erupts and no one is there to hear it, does it make a sound? Of course it does, and now we can hear it no matter when it happens thanks to a new monitoring station in the park! Thank you to our colleagues at @USGSVolcanoes for the latest monthly update! #VolcanoWeek

Watching an Old Faithful Geyser eruption is a Yellowstone tradition. Old Faithful Inn Observation Deck, the boardwalks, or Observation Point… which is your go-to spot? #VolcanoWeek
