Large Eruption at Biscuit Basin Geyser in Yellowstone Moments Ago, Destroying Boardwalk
Jul 23, 2024, 07:44 PM
An unusually large eruption occurred at the Biscuit Basin geyser in Yellowstone National Park moments ago on July 23, 2024. The eruption, described as a hydrothermal explosion, sent boiling water, rocks, and debris into the air, destroying a nearby boardwalk and prompting tourists to flee the area. Despite the dramatic nature of the event, the US Geological Survey (USGS) classified the eruption as 'small' and stated that volcanic activity remains at background levels. No injuries were reported, and the area has been temporarily closed for safety reasons. Video footage captured the incident, showing tourists running for their lives.
