Beneath Yellowstone National Park lies something extraordinary—a giant underground chamber filled with molten rock, trapped ...

It’s also the only place on Earth you can take an elevator inside a volcano’s magma chamber. In May, for the third year in a row, Thrihnukagigur (“Three Peaks Crater”) is open to visitors ...

SCIENTISTS are planning to bore a hole into Earth that could unleash an unlimited energy source. The researchers are hopeful that by digging over a mile into the earth they can harness the power ...

While inside the Thrihnukagigur magma chamber, about a hundred miles (160 kilometers) away, the expedition team's biggest risk was gas poisoning, SMU's Quick said. "Whenever you go into magmatic ...

This should allow scientists to get an exact temperature reading of the inside of the magma chamber, which has never been done before, according to New Scientist. "Will it work? That's definitely ...

Scientists in Iceland have come up with an ambitious plan to drill into a volcano's magma chamber to source an abundant amount of clean, super-hot geothermal energy. The project, which would be a ...

However, a team of scientists recently found magma chambers lurking beneath six volcanoes in the Cascade Range. The findings published January 23 in the journal Nature Geoscience are challenging ...

They will soon be joined by another, which will be anything but boring. “We are going to drill into a magma chamber,” says Hjalti Páll Ingólfsson at the Geothermal Research Cluster (GEORG ...

However, geothermal energy is cooler than steam at fossil fuel power plants, about 482°F and 842°F, respectively, and so tapping into the magma chamber could unleash a far powerful energy supply ...
