Йе́ллоустон (англ. Yellowstone National Park) 

Описание: According to archaeological data, people began to live in the territory occupied by the park 11,000 years ago. Modern explorers first appeared in the region in 1805 (members of the Lewis and Clark expedition), but no economic or scientific activity was carried out here until the 1860s. In the early years after the park was established, it was under the control of the US Army, and in 1917, control was transferred to the National Park Service, created two years earlier.

The vast territory of the park contains lakes, rivers, canyons and caves. Lake Yellowstone, one of the largest alpine lakes in North America, is located in the center of the Yellowstone Caldera, the largest supervolcano on the continent. The caldera is considered a dormant supervolcano; it has erupted with great force several times over the past two million years. Most of the park is covered with solidified lava; the park contains one of five geyser fields in the world.

About two thousand species of plants grow in the park, there are several hundred species of mammals, birds, reptiles and fish, including those endangered. Most of the territory is covered with forest, a smaller part is covered with steppe. Forest fires occur every year; about a third of all forests were burned out as a result of the catastrophic fires of 1988. Several hundred kilometers of asphalt roads have been laid in the park for visitors to access. There are numerous opportunities for outdoor activities. Йеллоустоун
