Yellowstone National Park, known for erupting geysers like Old Faithful, is home to one of earth’s largest volcanic systems, with the capacity to wreak havoc on an entire continent — and components of that so-called supervolcano are on the move, experts say.

New research shows that the reservoirs of magma that fuel the supervolcano 's wild outbursts seem to be shifting to the northeast of the Yellowstone Caldera. This region could be the new locus of future volcanic activity, according to a team led by seismologist Ninfa Bennington of the US Geological Survey.

A team of geologists at the US Geological Survey, working with a trio of colleagues from Oregon State University, and another from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, has found evidence of rhyolitic volcanism in Yellowstone caldera shifting northeast.

Those living in fear of a supervolcano eruption at Yellowstone National Park can breathe easy: The park may be sitting on a lot of magma, but there's no risk of a volcanic eruption in our lifetimes, according to a new study.

Geologists from the USGS warn about changes in the volcanic activity of Yellowstone, which may shift to the northeast, reports Newsweek. The latest research conducted by scientists at the United States Geological Survey (USGS) indicates a possible shift in magma activity under the Yellowstone supervolcano toward the northeast.
