Arenal Eruption Photos May 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 and clear sky at night. On May 22, 2005 the volcano was quite active with lava flowing every 10 minutes or so on the West side. These photos were taken by Jacques Bertrand the webmaster of arenal.net with a Nikon D70 equipped with a 70/300mm zoom and a tripod between May 21, 9h02 pm and May 22, 5h19 am from the Mirador Lodge in Monteverde (16 km from the volcano as the crow flies).
Eruption Date: Sat May 21 2005 17:00:00 GMT-0700 (Pacific Daylight Time)
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.
