With dozens of active geysers -- including legendary Old Faithful-- rainbow hued pools, mudpots, waterfalls, bison, elk, bears, broken mountains and even its own yellow and red-tinged Grand Canyon, Yellowstone National Park is among the most awe-inspiring places on earth. 

Touring the park, it's easy to forget you're actually in the caldera of one of the planet's largest and most lethal super volcanoes. It's the heat from the volcano that makes the hot water and steam that fuels the park's many wonders. Fortunately, the Yellowstone super volcano hasn't erupted in nearly 650,000 years, but it's long overdue for a devastating blast that could alter the climate on a global scale, posing a threat to mankind and most life on the planet. All the same, the odds of the calamity occurring during your lifetime is astronomically small.
