A new hydrothermal explosion created a 13-foot diameter, 1-foot deep blue water pool in Yellowstone's Porcelain Basin. Geologists discovered the pool in April, formed between December 2024 and February 2025 via multiple smaller explosions. Satellite imagery confirms its recent formation. This isn't unusual; similar events have occurred in recent years due to the park's dynamic geothermal activity, with monitoring systems detecting such occurrences.
