Arenal Volcano Is
Growing
The material oozing out
and solidifying atop
Arenal Volcano makes
evidence that the
landmark is growing in
plain view, according to
volcanologist Eliecer
Duarte of theObvservatorio
Vulcanológico y
Sismológico de Costa
Rica
(OVSICORI).
Duarte added that
this will continue in
the coming years.
The scientist pointed
out that Arenal is a
young volcano, since its
current activity started
40 years ago, and is now
expanding.
However, he explained
that the crater itself
is not growing. |
