"KABLOOEY!" — That’s how USGS scientists described the jaw-dropping muddy eruption at Yellowstone’s Black Diamond Pool, and luckily, this time it was caught on camera! Recorded in Biscuit Basin under clear winter skies, this rare hydrothermal blast sent mud flying up to 40 feet high, offering a stunning glimpse into the raw power bubbling beneath Yellowstone National Park.

Captured by the Yellowstone Volcano Observatory's new webcam, this eruption is part of a series of unpredictable bursts that have occurred since a major explosion damaged the area in July 2024. With no warning signs and no set pattern, these dirty eruptions remind us just how alive Yellowstone really is.
