Day 2 in Yellowstone trip, Madison Norris kicked camping tents (Norris) and the area to watch the geyser Canyon Village (Canyon Village) has come. This is the trip in 30 days, before expanding on a camping trip last February 2009 "a week-long summer vacation in Yellowstone Plan, savings when booked in advance, and today we were sleeping lodges in Yellowstone Canyon (Canyon Lodge) in front of the hostel. Seemingly quite old and poorly made board looks like a place ...

So the interior is very spacious and was cleaned up. Wisdom Ranger Junior to be a wife to help solve a problem.

However, the small sink on the 'bear' found ^ ^ possibly could not write me a pretty bear soap, toilet paper so well wrapped in the green house has been worshiped ...

Eat lunch in the middle of the Canyon Village Visitor Center came to However, this is a name from the Canyon Visitor 'Education' Center to be called. Yellowstone National Park has a large visitor center worthy of its size, but a whopping five, which each have a different theme in the display is made, is so tired of all the back to be perceiving. If so, here's educational theme Canyon Visitor Center? Just, 'How Yellowstone made?' That.

Training Center offers a large bookstore from the entrance to this place, and about the right side of the 150 seats in the small theater to show the film had been guided.

From the entrance of the first floor exhibition, above the entrance "YELLOWSTONE: A SUPERVOLCANO" said the driving set! Korean as 'second volcano' which translates as supervolcano is a volcano, in 2000, the BBC produced a documentary on the first use of the term, which easily say 'the big volcano Godzilla' refers to. (Now, the amount of ash erupted more than 1,000 km ^ 3 is a term referring to the volcano officially defined) Yes - movie <2012> the hero came limousine drove away camping with children, the plane again after earthquake to come back and take a fleeing exploding volcano in Yellowstone National Park is the right place. ('ve Tried them all here, all kinds of cars in the parking lot, then drove on black limousine was no person ^ ^)

Yellowstone is a 'hotspot (hotspot)' is. Wireless Internet access is not what it's capable of a base station (^ ^), in fact, the Earth's "hot point (hot spot) 'says that. This elevation of 2000 meters 5000 meters below the ground, so only 5km mantle layer below the crust falls magma (magma) that comes out, which is usually 30 ~ 50km thick crust of land, compared by the incredibly thin, as well as those of the Yellowstone Hotspot, New Zealand, Hawaii and Iceland, and the like. Naturally thin and fragile shells is easy to saw, the last millions of years continues to move slightly broke - which will explode.

During the past two million years, where three volcanic eruptions that occurred where visual comparison of the scale, and the area was covered with ash after the show, which is actually that big bucket filled with ash and placed such that the powder look really great is qualitative! Put a small cube placed on the left is meant to be one of 57 people killed in 1980, up Mout St. I do Helens volcanic explosion of scale, that Yellowstone is a volcano of 1,000 at the same time there was an exploding scale. But, still, to 210 million years ago, let's Huckleberry Ridge Caldera Eruption, the next 130 million years ago, Henry's Fork Caldera Eruption, and is 64 million years ago, the time interval between the Yellowstone Caldera Eruption ... and then look at the explosion 800,000 years, 660,000 years, and the last To date, 640,000 years from the explosion ... the average of the previous two interval because 730,000 years from now I'll pop back in about 90,000 years. So, what ... I got to worry ... But, what I want?

"The volcano is a volcanic mountain to create ten thousand seconds to thwart the mountain volcano a few kilometers in radius to kill ten thousand seconds Refuge Volcano is changing the climate of the entire earth and all life forms may be extinct." National Geographic August 2009 there was published in the above article. (If you, the movie <2012> side, or was influenced by pre-lobby Maybe it is?) Super Volcano explosion of all the history of the planet was only 10 times, most recently about 26,500 years before the New Zealand Taupo called the volcano. Therefore, if the Yellowstone back in 64 years, and the explosion of similar size, then it is the worst natural disaster in the history of mankind would be too obvious. Movie <2012> of the Las Vegas hotels have turned off the ground, just below Mount Everest surging waters to be exaggerated, etc. I do not know, Yellowstone explodes and ash covered the entire United States, the world was covered in darkness is never This is not exaggeration!

Exhibition has created a model of Yellowstone National Park laid because 2 layer should go up so overlooking the whole place looks like a well. Yellowstone Lake and passing a red dotted line, it is the absence of sharp hooked off area made explosion crater (caldera), which is the size width of about 72km, about 55km in length is greater than the total area of ​​Jeju Island. Again, not the size of a volcanic crater the size of him!

Looking around the exhibition and came down and received Junior Ranger Review. Grizzly Bear of the foot is taken as a gift I got a nice patch, take out wisdom writing Ranger hat, a gift to know this also take pictures, but ... Thank you very much wished catches back ... sobbing ...

While the second concerns the explosion of the volcano forgotten, now the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone (Grand Canyon) that let's go for a nice visit to the waterfall gorge. Canyon Village Yellowstone River flowing beneath (Yellowston River), which includes two waterfalls, the river flows north, so the above map is at the bottom of the Upper Fall of upstream and downstream is at the top of the Lower Fall that. First, Cliff went to the Lower Fall is falling.

Lower Fall is a 94m drop and a large waterfall, which is impressive of green. (Wide-angle lens on the left to come to the hostel, and supported the overall appearance of the waterfall sequence) is quite wide and the width of the falls, the quantity and incredibly common. The emerald is a huge stream of water falling in front of a canyon like the right ...

V, called the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone wave excitation as deep gorge, which previously viewed UT (Utah) and Arizona (Arizona) sedimentary rocks of the canyon as the red, yellow volcanic rocks hundreds of thousands of years of erosion and weathering are discolored appearance It was really strange minister. "This is why the Yellow Stone National Park're called ..."

This move places the Lookout Point Lower Fall look, I would go down to see more great look, I think is hard to come down and skipped up.

Bing turn a one-way street because the lap went to Canyon Village came out again, this time has come where Upper Fall is falling. Lug a car, a car pulled all the question of identity is unclear, RV (?) ... Been driving like that and you are great here in California ...

Upper Fall on the rock next to the falls where I stood singing Hail to the wisdom - this picture may look like just a drop rapids and a large waterfall is the 33m.

Finally heard this place is across the river from upstream along the South Rim Drive back to come down again to see the look of Lower Fall Artist Point.
