She's likely to take a chill, wearing that. Needs a sweater. And pants.

Under Yellowstone, Magma Pocket 20% Larger Than Thought

"The finding, based on the most detailed model yet of the region's geologic plumbing, suggests that Yellowstone's magma chamber contains even more fuel for a future "supereruption" than anyone had suspected.

The model shows that a 45-mile-wide (72-kilometer-wide) plume of hot, molten rock rises to feed the supervolcano from at least 410 miles (660 kilometers) beneath Earth's surface.

The deepest part of the plume actually sits beneath the town of Wisdom, Montana, about 150 miles (241 kilometers) from Yellowstone National Park."

6 volcanoes that could shut down the world

7 if you count the one located at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. in the D.C.

Don’t forget: Mt. Shasta, Mt. Hood, Mt. St. Helens, and Mt. Ranier.

Great ! A young woman with sagging droopy breasts and no arm muscle carrying an over-sized spear while wearing torn clothing and knee-high boots.

In other words these volcanoes are almost as much of a threat to mankind as the democrats.

LOL.

That’s not a volcano.

That’s a bad case of hell’s diarrhea.

That model of the Yellowstone plume looks like a malignant colon.
