Winter in the Caldera: January in the Yellowstone Hotspot

Hosted by research social scientist David Yetman, explore the landscapes, peoples and history of North and South America — from the coldest towns in Canada to the tropical islands of the Caribbean.

Winter in the Caldera: January in the Yellowstone Hotspot

Season 2 Episode 209 | 26m 46s | CC

Yellowstone National Park is our first, and one of the most visited national parks. In winter, access is limited, and visitors and wildlife are challenged by deep snow and fierce cold. The frozen landscape is utterly transformed from summertime, and its explosive potential is even more evident.
