 Main Title
Test content goes here and this is just filler text. Late last week, geologists at the
Yellowstone Volcano Observatory (YVO) announced they had recorded a notable swarm of earthquakes under way since Dec.
26 beneath Yellowstone Lake. The strongest tremor among the hundreds in the past week measured 3.9 on Dec. 27; most
of the readings above 2.8 were felt by park employees and visitors around the lake area. The activity relaxed in magnitude
early this week but then flexed upward again to top 3.0 by early New Year's Eve.
The activity relaxed in magnitude early this week but then flexed upward again to top 3.0 by early New Year's Eve. This
December 2008 earthquake sequence is the most intense in this area for some years, YVO reported, and is centered
on the east side of the Yellowstone Caldera, the ancient collapsed volcano beneath Yellowstone Lake. The scientists said
they cannot immediately identify
any causative fault or other feature without further analysis. The activity relaxed in magnitude early this week but then
