Reports from park officials have stated that the two men were caught and will be charged with thermal trespassing.
Yellowstone National Park officials are also reminding all visitors that it is not only illegal to leave the viewing areas of the geysers, but can also be extremely dangerous. The park has provided a webpage with an overview of how to visit the park safely, which is linked below.
Safety - Yellowstone National Park (U.S. National Park Service)
Never feed wildlife, even birds and squirrels. Animals that become dependent on human food may become aggressive toward people and have to be killed. Animals also carry diseases that can be transmitted to people. Be especially watchful around ravens: they can unzip or unfasten many different kinds of buckles and latches.
