Despite this, he’s still a fan of researchers looking into ways to minimise the risk posed by supervolcanos.
He said: “We have to do much more than what we are doing now to try and prevent a supervolcanic eruption.
“These volcanoes are going to do something one day – and this could be in 100 years, in 1,000 years, or even 10,000 years.
“We expect still to be on the Earth in 10,000 years and if we don’t do something to decrease the stress of this volcano, we won’t be able to survive on the surface of the Earth.

was in the Navy and we were on a destroyer, we were out at sea, so I was talking to these guys. This one guy I ll never forget his hometown: He was from Fitzgerald, Georgia. I gave them a ski lesson on the fantail of a destroyer, Gerry Fitz FitzGerald says, laughing while we sit drinking coffee one cold morning at Lookout Pass. He demonstrated the lesson: OK, hold your feet here. And now walk forward. OK. Keep your hands out here. It was hysterical, but they were into it. A longtime Spokane resident, Fitz has been coaching ski racing for over 50 years and during that time he s coached well over 500 kids. He s greatly respected and admired throughout the Pacific Northwest ski racing community.

Yellowstone volcano is no stranger to earthquake swarms, with roughly 50 percent of seismicity in the region attributed to earthquake clusters. But a recently-tracked swarm of tremors has hit the US national park deep under Yellowstone Lake - a 110 square mile body of water that is cut in half by the Yellowstone Caldera boundary. The boundary is a fault line of the present-day caldera that formed about 631,000 years ago after Yellowstone s most recent explosive event.
