Hot Hot Heat

Turns out you don't need to be in any rush to see Yellowstone; it's not in much danger of being destroyed by a volcanic eruption any time soon. Apparently, the Yellowstone volcano is only "lukewarm." For the curious, "lukewarm" for a volcano is about 1450 degrees Celsius, the temperature at which most materials instantly catch fire and beg for mercy.

No report yet on the volcano beneath Jellystone Park. Ranger Dave could not be reached for comment.
