April 11 2008 Nearby The Arenal Volcano National Park
We were trying to find a new angle to photograph the volcano so we drove around some of the roads between the Arenal Dam and a road that connects to the Castillo road nearby the national park. We set up a tripod in a ditch off the side of the road, not ideal but at the moment we stopped the conditions were clear. After about 30 minutes or so the clouds rolled in and made it too difficult to get a clear shot. Unfortunatley the clouds hung around the summit the entire time we were shooting.
Eruption Date: Thu Apr 10 2008 17:00:00 GMT-0700 (Pacific Daylight Time)
As you can see we also have a fair amount of long exposure noise indicated by the blue specs that form above and behind the volcano. It was an fun adventure even though we did not get any fantastic photos.
Check out our Arenal Volcano Map for an update on the volcano’s current activity. It did, however, enter into a resting phase in 2010. At present, no eruptions are occurring.
There are a number of excursions in Arenal that allow for close viewing of the Arenal volcano. These include hikes through the Arenal Volcano National Park and the 4-in-one Arenal excursion, which includes a trip to the waterfall, a volcano hike, and a visit to one of the area’s hot springs.
