A major earthquake in Alaska in 2002 set off lots of smaller quakes in the Yellowstone National Park more than 2,000 miles away, say scientists.

Within hours geysers in the park changed their eruption patterns, according to the journal Geology.

Very glad to run across this article. I’d heard about the changes that happened to the geysers, it’s interesting that they connected it with such a distant earthquake event.

And of course, it reminds me of that ski trip from hell in Yellowstone. I think winter after next I’ll be ready for a return to the Snow Lodge.
