America's National Parks serve as vital protected areas and living museums, attracting around 270 million visitors annually. They function as natural laboratories, enabling researchers to conduct long-term studies on diverse subjects, from tiny salamanders to massive geothermal geysers. Notably, Yellowstone National Park is situated atop a large, active volcano, which is closely monitored to enhance understanding of environmental changes and underground processes, ensuring both safety and scientific insight.
