Yellowstone Trivia

This trivia book is an interesting and fun compilation of facts and trivia on one of the most interesting places in the world. Yellowstone national park sits on top of a so called super volcano. The Yellowstone Caldera is the largest known center of active volcanism in the world. The caldera measures 30 by 45 miles. Therefore Yellowstone has the largest concentration of geysers and other hydrothermal features in the world. It has more than 12 times more active geysers than Iceland, and more than all of Russia, in fact more than a third of all active geysers in the world are located at this single spot. Add to that the amazing wild life and all the great hiking trails. An estimated 10,000 Elk live in Yellowstone Park and thousands of bison (buffalo) roam the park in large herds which virtually every visitor will see. I have seen wolf fighting Grizzly Bear in the park, coyote stealing elk meat from wolfs, and I have seen bear (black and grizzly bear) every time I have been in Yellowstone. Also did you know that there are lakes in the park that drains into both the Atlantic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean? You will learn a lot of interesting facts about Yellowstone, our earth and the natural world by reading this book. In addition, reading this book will give you a good insight into what there is to see and visit in the park. It is also a great and fun companion while you are waiting for a geyser to erupt, or resting on top of a mountain.
