Yellowstone could be erupting from underground after experts recorded signs of activity from a powerful geyser in the national park which is home to a terrifying supervolcano.  Experts at Yellowstone National Park claim to have seen the Steamboat Geyser erupt on Thursday night. The park service made the announcement about the world’s tallest active geyser on Friday, as geologists compared the accounts to thermal sensors in the area. It was determined that it “could be a series of
