Another small hydrothermal explosion at Biscuit Basin in Yellowstone National Park
News and Adventure from Glacier National Park
The USGS Volcanoes X/Twitter account posted this on Monday. The post includes a video of the explosion:
In the early morning hours of June 13, 2026, a small hydrothermal explosion occurred at Biscuit Basin in Yellowstone National Park! The activity was recorded by a camera and other monitoring equipment and resulted in major changes to the landscape. Today’s Caldera Chronicles blows open the story!
▶️Explosion took place at 5:09 a.m. MDT on June 13, 2026
▶️The event was captured by a remote camera, as well as seismic and infrasound monitoring instruments installed nearby
▶️The location was the barren area just north of Black Diamond Pool (that pool was the site of a larger hydrothermal explosion on July 23, 2024)
▶️Three new vent areas opened, including an 18.5-meter (61-foot) fissure filled with boiling water
▶️Rocks were thrown a few meters (yards), indicating the explosive energy was much lower than that of the 2024 event
▶️High levels of water discharge from the vents entrained sediment and drained into the Firehole River, creating milky streaks in the river that persisted far downstream
▶️About 2 or 3 days later, a circular collapse featured formed in the area of the explosion and filled with near-boiling water
▶️On June 18, geyser-like spouting about 6-9 meters (20-30 feet) high was observed from the new circular pool
▶️Yellowstone Volcano Observatory scientists deployed new monitoring equipment in the basin last week to track the evolving nature of the activity
Biscuit Basin remains closed to visitors.
Roughly two years ago, a more powerful explosion occurred in nearly the same spot:
