In addition, the release of hydrogen sulphide was noticed, due to which part of the river became a dead "chemical zone." In addition, a release of hydrogen sulfide was noticed, due to which part of the river became a dead "chemical zone", according to Inquisitr.
The Shoshone River, near Yellowstone National Park, suddenly and without warning began to boil, changed color and began to emit a sulfurous smell on March 25. Witnesses from the surrounding area wondered if this would lead to "everyone dying." Currently, geologists and other experts have agreed that they have raised concerns over whether the boiling part of the Shoshone River near Cody, Wyoming is evidence that a new ventilation duct has been opened in Yellowstone.
According to the Mysterious Universe, the boiling river near Yellowstone runs just east of Yellowstone National Park. It is close enough to the park and supervolcano to be a "canary in a coal mine," and therefore an unusual geothermal event. The event was originally recorded by Deway Vanderhoff, a photographer who noticed the Shoshone River near Yellowstone boiling and noted other strange features in the river.
“I've lived here my whole life and I've never seen it. It was pretty impressive. The river here is really dark green. With the help of a polarizing filter, everything looked like jets from a jacuzzi."
The boiling of the Shoshone River for four days in March was not the only recent geothermal event in the river to grab the attention of geologists. Was recently recorded in the river in the Yellowstone area and the release of hydrogen sulfide. Enough hydrogen sulfide has reportedly been released into the water to create a dead zone spanning one and a half mile. This section of the river is currently completely devoid of fish due to what expert Burckhardt refers to as a "chemical barrier" that blocks fish from entering the area.
Some people think this is a very bad sign.
Currently, the boiling in the river near Yellowstone has stopped. However, seismic activity in the Yellowstone supervolcano area is reported to be on the rise.

It is difficult to say whether or not the boiling of the river near Yellowstone lately is a sign of some processes taking place in the supervolcano's caldera. Some believe that normal processes are taking place, which is what it should be. Much of our current understanding of the Yellowstone supervolcano has emerged over the past century, and new information and data that emerge update our views on a daily basis.
Only time will tell whether or not the boiling in the Shoshone River near Yellowstone National Park is part of a broader trend of geological change in the region.
