At the north end of the Arsenal volcano, in the northern part of Costa Rica, lava was seen flowing from the side of the volcano. This means only one thing: An eruption may soon occur.

This is according to Eliecer Durante, a volcanologist of the Volcanic and Seismologic Watch Group of Costa Rica. Tier headquarters are located at the National University of Costa Rica.

He also commented that the volcano, located nearby Arsenal hill, is about forty years old.
Also, according to him, the volcano is in its growing stage, growing up and big, but the crater’s not growing.

The process is being done by making the rocks growing longer, by the rock tentacles, when cooled. After this, the newly formed rock becomes a part of the volcano.

He also commented on the growth of the Arsenal volcano, comparing it to a tube of toothpaste that is squeezed until a bit of the toothpaste exits and flows over.
The shifts inside of the volcano are made up of hard, gray matter, volcanic rock, and the a few metals. The metals consist of iron, magnesium, and silicon.

Finally, Durante remarked that the volcano is not exploding, but is growing, and the tourists who are nearby are in no danger what so ever, since the activity is in the northwestern part of the volcano.
