One of only a dozen "super volcanos" in the world. When super volcanos explode it changes life on earth. The last time one went off was Mt. Toba 70,000 years ago.
In more technical terms, the Yellowstone volcano is a caldera. Most Caldera volcanoes start out as stratovolcanoes, but this one appears to be an exception.
