Arenal Eruption Photos June 22, 2005
May is rainy season but usually the weather is clear in the morning with an hour or so of rain in the afternoon & clear sky at night. On the evening of June 22, 2005 the volcano was moderately active with lava flowing every 30 minutes or so on the West side. These photos were taken by Jacques Bertrand the webmaster of arenal.net with a Nikon D70 digital camera equipped with a 70/300mm zoom and a tripod (30 second exposition @ 1,600 asa) between 8h pm & 11h pm from the Mirador Lodge in Monteverde (16 km from the volcano as the crow flies).

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.
