During the month of March 2012, the University of Utah reports 51 earthquakes were located in the Yellowstone National Park region. The largest was a magnitude 2.3 event on March 3 at 6:02 PM MST, located about 20 miles west northwest of West Yellowstone, MT A small swarm of 10 events was recorded on March 3 about 10 miles northwest of West Yellowstone, MT with magnitudes ranging from M 2.1 to M 0.7
Yellowstone earthquake activity continues at relatively low background levels.
Slow subsidence of the caldera, which began in early 2010, continues. Current deformation patterns at Yellowstone are well within historical norms.
