Scientists have discovered a newly opened volcanic vent in Yellowstone National Park.

The new vent is at the foot of a rhyloite lava flow, and is spewing steam into the air.

This isn't the first time that this type of hydrothermal activity has been spotted in the area.

Thankfully, USGS reassures that there is still about 100,000 years to go before Yellowstone erupts.
