Yellowstone caldera beginning to take shape.

Looks like it might be a big one.
Last caldera outlined in red within the next one.
Image of recent quakes as of time of posting from USGS.

An image of past caldera explosions all overlapping with each other. It is moving slowly northward (as arrowed) so the area is fairly predictable. When it will go up is not so predictable.

Big image so linked.
