As a large caldera, there is a chance for a future eruption. The fact that hotsprings and geysers exist in the park is an indicator that the original magma pocket that caused historic eruptions (the last being 70,000 years ago) is still under the Yellowstone supervolcano. If Yellowstone was to erupt, the event would be catastrophic.
