If you are staying away because you understand how powerful the supervolcano is, maybe it could help you consider how certain you already are that this era is the only chance to get to admire it before the entire region changes forever.

Fun story : I used to work and live at Yellowstone as a room attendant for Xanterra! I lived there roughly 10 months out-of the year. I worked at Mammoth Hotsprings then at The Old Faithful Inn and the one thing I heard from guests every 90 minutes was "it never gets old, does it?" When they'd see it erupting from the Skywalk or the balcony. I always said "no, never" so I wouldn't spoil the magic for them but in reality the cold truth of the matter was that, after living there for 6 months- it had gotten old. Not in a boring way, I was never bored by it but it had become a constant for me. so reliable that I almost forgot it was there. My coworkers and I frequently went on hikes on our days off sit beside a geyser and wait for it to go off for hours and hours. these were the geysers that went off so rarely that Park rangers could only tell you roughly what day or what week they would go off. Those were often smaller then Old Faithful and overall less impressive, but because we'd waited by that one geyser for 27 straight hours we appreciated it more. Because we knew it hadn't gone off in over 10 years we felt special to watch a 1 foot tall little nameless geyser go off for two minutes. People are weird. Side note: leash your dogs at the park folks I have seen many a poor doggie die from jumping into Hot springs and getting boiled alive. It's as horrible as it sounds. Also... leash your kids too. I've seen lots of bad burns mostly on kids hands because they'd see the cool colors in the water and reach out to touch it while dad is snapping a picture of a bison skull at the bottom of a clear spring on the other side of the boardwalk.

I also visited Yellowstone this summer and it was certainly a once-in-a-lifetime experience (quite literally if we acknowledge that it's constantly changing and today's Yellowstone will always be different from tomorrow's Yellowstone). Though despite all the plaques I read and all the park ranger speeches I listened to, it was never brought to my attention that the whole park basically sits on top of a volcano (which no doubt contributes to the lush wildlife there). Very interesting!

I found the most comforting part of this video the bit about how Yellowstone doesn't lie. That said, man change is hard. Sometimes good, necessary, but hard.

Another video in which Hank demonstrates he is in fact a skilled writer. Layout "updates" are usually less helpful, just say what you are really thinking "if it ain't broke, don't fix it!"

It is easy to forget how much nature changes and how much we are a part of/linked with that cycle of change.Thanks for the video, Hank. :)

Love the way you put things, great way to start the day. Thank you for that.

Okay change isn't inherently bad but this tumblr update kind of is. The tumblr update could actually be really nice with a little bit of change (remove the pictures, push the lines closer together so it takes up less space)--I don't want to go back to the way things were. There are a lot of changes people WANT on tumblr, but we never get them. I think sometimes, yeah, people are scared of change and will settle down after a while, but sometimes it is a bad change, and people just get /used/ to it. That doesn't mean their initial reaction was the false one, but that people will adapt to anything.

antivenompene Dyslexia is set off by pictures, bold, italics basically anything distracting from the text itself. The pictures and lines break up the comments so it's harder to follow the "flow" of words. The names are bolded when they’re really not the important thing and draw your attention, again breaking the flow.

Hank logic: Start complaining about Tumblr. Make a loose connection to the inevitability of change. Proceed to give eloquent speech. Say hello to a bison

I'm allowed to have problems. I'm allowed to not like the tumblr rework, that my charger is downstairs while I'm upstairs, my fridge has nothing that I want to eat in it. Yes there a bigger things, yes the ground beneath our feet isn't as constant as we like to believe, but we a re allowed to have problems, and be unsatisfied with what we have or what is happening. It is what you do with that unsatisfaction that defines you. Do you wallow in it, or do you go on to do something. Do you maybe make a new tumblr where it looks how you like, or did you just reblog something about how the new tumblr is stupid. this started off somewhere, and moved somewhere totally different...weird

Yes. I mean, this constant dissatisfaction is one of the main reasons why change happens in the first place, I think.

This thoughts from places resonated with me strongly. It was very beautifully thought and worded. There are few things so constant and universal in life as change - and yet we all have a tendency to feel as if what we know or have now is permanent. Just, great video, Hank.

i love thoughts from places so much, they are my favorite type of vlogbrothers videos. They always sorta strike something in me and make me want to go places or make videos or write or do something.

Thoughts from places (even though this isn't named so I'm counting it) have remained my favourite vlogbrothers videos of all time. This one in particular is so beautiful and poetic and is really relaxing after a long day :)

You calm my nerves and soothe my fears by making that dark place not so terrifying. Thank you. For seemingly always knowing what to say even if you have no idea I exist. You know the important things in life and it is awfully amazing how it all started with Tumblr's mishap.

Great video. This channel has had a good run this month of extra good content.

Oh my goodness. Thank you for this beautiful footage! Resilience is the solution to the terror of change. Acceptance that change will happen, hope that you will survive and can thrive, and the preparation to allow you to do so; all rolled into one.

I love it when you guys make videos like this.

While watching this video I could smell the sulphur smell that I experienced once many years ago and didn't even really consciously recall until I just unconsciously experienced it while watching your beautiful montage. Both how our minds recall senses and Yellowstone are both pretty awe inspiring. Thanks Hank!

That was beautiful: both the landscape, the message and the philosophy so thank you for 4 mins well spent on my behalf!!

Hank this is an amazing addition to an already astounding body of work. It's rare that a single video in the seemingly endless stream of information that each of us observes on a daily basis reminds us that nothing is constant. As a math student, it is partially my job to find out what exactly it is that is always changing. However, I am told that it can only be one of a few things. This video reminded me that everything changes, even the very ground that we stand upon, and for that I just wanted to say think you. #HankGreen2016

Dear Hank and John, I don't know if you will ever read this or be able to reply if you do. I just wanted to say how much I anticipate your videos each week. Watching them helps remind me that there is still good in the world and causes that are worth fighting for, especially when my life sometimes feels like it's filled with so much shit that I can't take it any more. Thank you so much for bringing a little bit of light to my world. Mark

I love this! What a beautiful and eloquent piece. Thank you, Hank, I was having a fairly crappy day up until now, but now I have something wonderful in it to look back on. :)

This is one of my favorite Thoughts From Places videos EVER, Hank! :)

I love thoughts from places videos! Please make more this was great

Coming back to this video as it is a comfort video of mine. Nothing is permanent and that is beautiful

I feel like you pulled some of my thoughts out of my head and made a video about them. I like it.

Wow Hank, I really loved this video. It felt like a poem, and it was both eye-opening and beautiful. Places as beautiful as Yellowstone seem to always have messages.

This was a nice hybrid thoughts from places video. I really liked this style.

I was just there a few weeks ago, and every shot you montage-ed I recognized. (So cool!). The thing that I brought away from Yellowstone, Hank, was that there seemed to be such an immense beauty at the intersection of the elements. Where water meets magma, you have geysers, hot springs, steam vents, and mud puts. If you think about it, many of the most beautiful places are where waster and earth meet.

thoughts from places are always my 100% top favs. this one actually made me tear up.

Thoughts from places! Wonderful! and thanks for sharing so much of Yellowstone. I've never seen that much of it. Guess I should do more research.

I watched it and immediately hit replay. Your words are amazing

WOW. Hank. I just said this out loud after the video... so deep! So great. Thank you.

Spectacular, Hank. Thanks for creating this!

Yellowstone is an absolutely amazing place. When I went last summer, we spent one day looking at geysers and hot springs, one day at the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone, and another day at Mammoth, plus hiking and swimming in a river. It was unforgettable! Hank, I would love to see more videos about the national parks! You live so relatively close to some of the best- Yellowstone, Glacier, and even Wind Cave are close enough to visit. There is so much to learn and enjoy in the parks!

This might have just become one of my favorite vlogbrothers videos. I love Yellowstone, Ive been once when i was younger, id love to go again soon. Its so gorgeous and interesting

Wonderful, poetic, and a great philosophical reminder. Thank you Hank for reminding us of a/the greater context. It's amazing how wrapped up we can get in our desires and angers and outrages of what we think or what we want or how things "should be." When nothing is truly permanent... thus dovetailing into that philosophical Buddhist invitation to consider that attachment is the root cause of all suffering. "We are all standing on that cliff beyond which there is nothing... until there is." Perfect. Thank you.

went through a pretty big life change in the last few months. This video really struck a chord with me. Thanks for sharing.

Yellowstone National Park is wonderful. Sure, my primary memory of my trip there when I was 10 was gashing my knee open, but it was still an extraordinary reminder of the beauty of nature & the way that things change & yet sometimes remain the same. Great video, Hank. So Long & Thanks For All the Fish, Lawrence Calablaster

Wow, I'm crying here. I had my first baby 3 months ago and he changes every day. It makes me sad to see him grow through stages so quickly, but this video has put new perspective on that. Thanks for the wonderful insight Hank!

This is such an important message and I love how it's communicated in this video.

Love the "Deep Thoughts by Hank Green" vids. They really put things into perspective.

I'm loving this video! The topic. The footage. It's amazing. Thank you, Hank! (Also, now I really want to go to Yellowstone)

This Video made me want to go to Yellowstone and so I planned our whole USA trip around it! We were there in September 2016. So worth it! One of the most beautiful and fascinating places I have ever seen! Thank you, Hank, for the inspiriation and for your videos in general :-)
