A new steam vent has appeared in Yellowstone, drawing visitor interest but not signaling an eruption.

A new steam vent has appeared in Yellowstone National Park, visible from a road near the Norris Geyser Basin. The vent, discovered last summer, emits steam at 171 degrees Fahrenheit and is part of a warm ground area that may be linked to a hot water feature from 2003. While the vent draws interest due to its visibility, Yellowstone sits atop a volcano that hasn't erupted for 631,000 years, with geologists stating no imminent eruption is expected.
