Yellowstone National Park is a super volcano.
Yellowstone is over a "hot spot" which is why there are geysers there. The hot spot blew millions of years ago leaving a caldera where the geysers are.
Yellowstone is a volcano but do not go expecting an eruption unless you can wait a few million years.
