Arenal Volcano
Continues To
Dazzle And Amaze
The Arenal
volcano
continues to
amaze tourists
with small
eruptions,
showing off its
beauty that
includes spewing
incandescent
stones.
And although the
residents of the
area are used to
the volcano
showing off,
this show has
turned more than
one local's
head.
The volcano
started spewing
ash and
generated
pyroplastic
flows from its
cone on Monday,
then slowing
down until
Thursday and
Friday, when it
dazzled it agai.
Among those
captivated by
the awakening of
the colossus is
an experienced
French
volcanologist
who is
travelling in
Costa Rica with
a television
crew filming a
documentary that
will be seen by
millions of
viewers in
Europe.
The Arenal
volcano has been
active since
1968 when
eruptions
resulted in the
death of 78
people and
serious damage
to the
surrounding
area.
The Arenal is
located 2 hours
northwest of San
José
international
airport and is
visited by
thousands of
tourists every
year, who can
also take in the
hot springs
offered at
nearby hotels.
