Yellowstone National Park is unique on the earth: the whole park is a "caldera", a volcanic crater, with molten rock a mere three miles below the surface. Yellowstone has the largest and most diverse set of "geothermal features" on earth: geysers, hot springs, travertine terraces, mudholes, fumaroles...
