BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) — Scientists say the amount of heat coming from Yellowstone Lake appears to be much higher than previously thought.

The Billings Gazette reports Rob Sohn with the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution is leading a $5 million study of the lake. He says his team has used an underwater remote vehicle to measure "ginormous" amounts of heat flowing out of hydrothermal vents from the lake floor.
