This view from the north looks across vents extending north from Poás. In the foreground is the Hule maar complex, with Laguna Bosque Alegre to the left and Laguna Congo at bottom right; the forested peak in the middle distance is Cerro Congo. Poás volcano is about 12 km to the south and forms the horizon here. Photo by Guillermo Alvarado, 1987 (Instituto Costarricense de Electricidad).
