On Saturday morning, experts from the U.S. Geological Survey shared an exciting sight at Black Diamond Pool in Yellowstone National Park, declaring a muddy eruption with a thrilling 'kablooey!' just after 9:23 a.m. Recorded video shows mud erupting from the pool, found midway between popular park sites Old Faithful and Grand Prismatic. Recent eruptions have mostly occurred at night, making this one particularly spectacular. Following a previous hydrothermal explosion in July 2024, researchers have enhanced monitoring efforts with new cameras and sensors to detect eruptions better. Yellowstone is renowned for its collection of over 10,000 hydrothermal features, showcasing unique geological activity.
