Arenal Volcano, Costa Rica
This is Arenal Volcano viewed towards the northwest from a small town, by tourists, school kids, and a lazy hawk. Arenal usually produces a small explosion every few minutes; larger eruptions occasionally occur. Most of the recent activity has occurred
on the north side, away from this particular view, so the flanks visible here are mostly vegetated. If you look closely, however, you can see where both lava flows and pyroclastic flows have burned their way down the flanks.
