“Most recent suggestion was for all Yellowstone visitors to throw icecubes into the crater...”

Crater? There is a Yellowstone crater?

I’ve never seen it.

Been there dozens of times and live 80 miles away.

I also have a beautiful chunk of lava from the last time it blew - it was unearthed at about 30’ below ground level on an excavation job. It’s really something!

I don’t know if there a crater or not...

I was just trying (unsuccessfully, it seems) to make a joke...

Take the road up to Tower Falls from Canyon Village, then get on the side road to Mt. Washburn. There is an overlook there that when you stop and look down will make you gasp: "Holy sh*t! I'm in the middle of a volcano caldera that's about 50 miles wide."

If you can't see it from there, you aren't looking.
