No; it is over a volcano. Yellowstone National Park sits on top of a vast caldera, a site of volcanic activity covering a huge magma chamber several miles below the surface. Generally the parts of the chamber closest to the surface are 5 or 6 kilometers down; the deepest parts are about 16 kilometers down. Unimaginably large eruptions have happened there in the distant past; the last was around 640,000 years ago. Many believe that such eruptions will happen there again.
