Arenal copy.jpg (100436 bytes)

Arenal, Costa Rica, is a stratovolcano that was dormant until 1968 when it burst into eruption. That strong explosion threw huge blocks as far as 5 kilometers. Activity has continued since with slow moving, thick lava flows and intermittent explosions of incandescent blocks. This apparent time exposure from Arenal.net shows the tracks of many of these blocks.
