Adventure Calls TRAVEL CATALOG | JULY 2019 Adventure Calls ACTIVE TRIPS AROUND THE GLOBE A beachy time in Fiji. Biking with Backroads in Italy’s Dolomites. Come Alive Active and adventure travel gets adrenaline flowing, sharpens the mind, and wildly expands the senses. It gives both the satisfaction of setting goals for yourself – can I hike to Machu Picchu? Pedal 60 riverside miles along the Rhône? Nail that perfect white rhino photo in the Okavango Delta? – and the personal growth that comes with pushing your limits. Luckily for Virtuoso travelers, these comfort-zone challenges don’t require leaving behind luxury or convenience (or being an Olympic athlete), and they often come with a victory beverage or glass of Champagne. Read on to see how Virtuoso advisors and our partner tour operators, cruise lines, hotels, and more can take you off the beaten path in style, whether you’re glamping under Norway’s northern lights, heli-skiing in Jackson Hole, or cruising the Amazon River.

The explosions were initially triggered by a volatile oversaturated (4–7 wt.% H2O) magma. Several lines of evidences suggest a small blast surge, where a wood-rich pyroclastic deposit was emplaced as a ground layer, followed by several units of coarse-grained (MdΦ between −0.65 and −5.40) tephra deposits (LU: lapilli units, DAU: double ash units). LU-1, -2, -3, DAU-1 and -2 consist of unconsolidated and well- to poorly sorted vesiculated bombs and lapilli of andesite, some blocks, ash and shredded wood. The individual units are possibly correlated with the major explosions of July 29. The thickness of the deposits decreases with the distance from the volcano from 5.6 m to a few centimeters.

    Volcanism and Geochemistry in Central America: Progress and Problems M. J. Carr1, M.D. Feigenson1, L. C. Patino2 and J.A. Walker3 1Department of Geological Sciences, Rutgers University 2Department of Geological Sciences, Michigan State University 3Department of Geology and Environmental Geosciences, Northern Illinois University Most Central American volcanoes occur in an impressive volcanic front that trends parallel to the strike of the subducting Cocos Plate. The volcanic front is a chain, made of right-stepping, linear segments, 100 to 300 Km in length. Volcanoes cluster into centers, whose spacing is random but averages about 27 Km. These closely spaced, easily accessible volcanic centers allow mapping of geochemical variations along the volcanic front. Abundant back-arc volcanism in southeast Guatemala and central Honduras allow two cross-arc transects. Several element and isotope ratios (e.g. Ba/La, U/Th, B/La, 10Be/9Be, 87Sr/86Sr) that are thought to signal subducted marine sediments or altered MORB consistently define a chevron pattern along the arc, with its maximum in Nicaragua. Ba/La, a particularly sensitive signal, is 130 at the maximum in Nicaragua but decreases out on the limbs to 40 in Guatemala and 20 in Costa Rica, which is just above the nominal mantle value of 15. This high amplitude regional variation, roughly symmetrical about Nicaragua, contrasts with the near constancy, or small gradient, in several plate tectonic parameters such as convergence rate, age of the subducting Cocos Plate, and thickness and type of subducted sediment. The large geochemical changes over relatively short distances make Central America an important margin for seeking the tectonic causes of geochemical variations; the regional variation has both a high amplitude and structure, including flat areas and gradients.

    M. Sc. Dissertation Study on the eruption process in Arenal Volcano, Costa Rica based on the ground deformation in1982-1998. Enrique HERNANDEZ Department of Earth & Environmental Sciences Graduate School of Environmental Studies Nagoya University September 2010 ABSTRACT Arenal volcano is located in the northwest-trending Costa Rican volcanic arc and it has been active in the last 42 years. Eight ground-tilt stations were established around the perimeter of the volcano as a project of Observatory Volcanology and Seismology from Costa Rica, Universidad Nacional (OVSICORI-UNA) since 1982. We employed single setup leveling (SSL), EDM (five lines) and two continuous GPS sites for measuring ground deformation on Arenal. Large tilt vectors such as 62.2 µradian/year were observed in the west flank of the summit. We assumed a spherical pressure source by Mogi solution to explain the observed crustal deformation in 1982-1998; we divide the 16-year into three periods of 1982-1992, 1993 (August 28, 1993 pyroclastic flows), and 1994-1998. Four source parameters were estimated using a grid-search scheme. According to our results, a spherical source is located 1km west of the summit with a depth of 1.2km, and the deflated volume change rates of −0.57 ×106 m3/year for the first period, −1.00 ×106 m3/year for the second period, and −0.55 ×106 m3/year for the last period. Since 1982, the SSL data has been revealing a continued deflation in the pressure source for 16 years beneath the summit. Detected by EDM and GPS, line lengths are consistent with our model.
