Description
The Irazu volcano’s summit has several craters, one of which contains Diego de la Haya, a green crater lake of variable depth. At 11,260 feet (3,432 m), the Irazú Volcano is the highest active volcano in Costa Rica. It is easily visited from San José, with a road leading right up to the summit craters and a weekly bus service to the top. It is thus a popular tourist spot.
From the top it is possible to see both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans on a clear day. However, such clear days are rare, and the volcano’s summit is usually cloud-covered, so this is why we were taken there very early in the morning before the clouds formed. By 9am the clouds were rolling in.
This artwork is derived from a photograph taken Apr 14/10 during our exploratory tour of South and Central America.
