Report Copyright Violation | Volcanic eruptions force closure of park Volcanic eruptions force closure of park March 27 2006 at 02:42AM San Jose, Costa Rica - Six minor eruptions in a hot lake crater have forced the closure of the Poas Volcano National Park, officials said on Sunday. An access road and paths to the 2 704m Poas allow visitors to peer directly into its kilometre-wide, 350-metre-deep lake crater. The strongest eruption came on Friday night, when the volcano spat lake sediments and hot rocks 150m in the air, officials said. The national Vulcanological and Seismological Observatory said some impact craters were found 700m away. No lava was expelled. Authorities said they noticed a spike of activity within the volcano on March 17. Hundreds of thousands of visitors from across Costa Rica and around the world visit Poas and the surrounding park each year. Located about 60km north of the capital of San Jose, the reserve is also popular for its lagoons which formed as rainwater-filled craters. [ link to www.int.iol.co.za] |

that it is"
You can't assume there would be precursors, especially since many of these aren't even closely monitored. The recent eruptions at Raoul, Bulusan and Akan. |
