Image Of the Day caption:
WHOI students and scientists ascend the Inferno Cinder Cone during a field trip to a lava field in Craters of the Moon National Monument in central Idaho. The trip culminated the 2015 Geodynamics Program, a semester-long series of seminars by scientists that this year focused on hydrothermal systems. The group followed the track of the Snake River Plain-Yellowstone hotspot. As the continent moved over the hotspot, it formed the Snake River Plain in a succession of volcanic eruptions. The hotspot now lies under Yellowstone National Park, where geysers and hydrothermal features are still active.
