Amid a bevy of headlines blaring that a 100-foot fissure at Grand Teton National Park is related to the Yellowstone Supervolcano, a spokesperson for the National Park Service said they’re “completely unrelated.”

“The crack in the rock and associated closure are completely unrelated to the Yellowstone Volcano,” Andrew White, a spokesman for the National Park Service, told The Epoch Times on Wednesday.
