Where is Yellowstone National Park? What can a tourist see and do there? Listen, read and check your answers.

Yellowstone National Park

A visit to Yellowstone National Park is a wonderful adventure! Yellowstone covers $$8{,}980\ \mathrm{km}^2$$ in three states (Wyoming, Montana and Idaho). What makes this park really amazing though is that most of it is on top of a huge volcano $$6\ \mathrm{km}$$ below the park! This is why Yellowstone has more thermal pools, geysers and hot springs than anywhere else in the world!

Old Faithful

Old Faithful is the most famous geyser in Yellowstone. It erupts every $$90$$ minutes for up to $$5$$ minutes, sending water $$30\text{–}60\ \mathrm{m}$$ into the air. This is a sight you’ll never forget!

The Grand Canyon of Yellowstone

This is a huge, deep canyon full of beautiful hiking trails and with spectacular views of Yellowstone’s most impressive waterfalls, Upper and Lower Falls. Also, watch out for wildlife in this area such as wolves, elk, bison and even grizzly bears!

The Yellowstone supervolcano – will it erupt?

The last time this supervolcano erupted was $$640{,}000$$ years ago. Some scientists think it is ready to erupt again, but they don’t know exactly when. If it erupts, it could destroy the western US!
