Arenal Volcano...1st March 08
...Arenal view from hotel balcony...world's ten most active volcano...erupts non-stop daily-throwing out huge red hot boulders and lava with it-but only on South side-no hotels at all on South side -we were based on Northern side-smoke can be seen non-stop... town is called La Fortuna meaning Fortunate as LAVA never flows towards the town...
...this picture shows Arenal spewing out Smoke and Ash...it,s like a huge firework...
...lava flow seen at night time...we had to trek for over two hours through thick Costa Rican Jungle at night time to get to a vantage point on the Southern side to see this...it was SPECTACULAR...you can see and hear huge red hot boulders being thrown out of the crater in to the air and being smashed as they roll down the hill and red lava being thrown in the air...PURE MAGIC...
