Arenal
Spewed Out Molten Rock and Ash
Not to be outdone by the Poás,
the Volcán Arenal spewed out
molten rocks and incandescent
ash, along the western face of
the volcano, located in La
Fortuna de San Carlos northwest
of the Central Valley.
According to the Observatorio
Vulcanológico y Sismológico
Nacional (Ovsicori), the volcano
activity was registered at 10am
Sunday morning. No one was
affected by the volcanic
eruption.
"The molter fluid and ash flowed
close to the active cone of the
volcano, which increased the
flow of lava. These types of
flows are common." was
information released by the
Ovsicori in a press statement.
The experts say that no material
change was caused by the
eruption, neither to the
infrastructure of the volcano
nor affecting the visitors to
the area.
"It is necessary to respect the
regulations by the Comisión
Naciona de Emergencias (CNE)
around the Volcán Arenal" was
the advisory issued by Ovsicori,
who affirms that several times a
year there is increased fluid
activity at the volcano.
Ovsicori also said that
yesterday's event at the Arenal
has no relation with the recent
activity at the Poás.
