I was there! Any of you ever been VOLCANO BOARDING? They even showed it on the show Survivor, there are videos on youtube.  I visited this volcano and what a beauty in fact the country has 25 volcanoes, obviously not all active, Nicaragua is also lined with tons of fresh water lakes and remarkably pristine natural habitats. I've been to the country of Nicaragua a few times and trust me it is one of the most satisfying vacation spots in central and south america. The people are warm and friendly, the food and entertainment is delicious and inexpensive, they even have world class surfing. The country is absolutely gorgeous and the US dollar goes a loooong way there, for a couple decades now the country has healed relatively well from the years of us terrorism in the 80's. Nicaragua is one of the best kept secrets in united states' foreign policy, hence the reason no one ever hears or talks about it. US gov't sure is adept at setting trends and swaying the masses with doublespeak rhetoric and popularity contests. 

I don't think 'fracking' is in use in Nicaragua, though the Soviets once had a Plan to creat a chain of lakes and open their own Canal using underground Nukes. Fell through because testing shows that the release of radiation makes it improbable to use for several hundred years...

On that subject, it would be a cheap and viable alternative to rebuilding the Panama Canal by simply installing a multilane trackway across the Tehuantepec Isthmus from Coatzacoalcos to Tehuantepec. The entire rise in elevation is around 200 metres and there is an existing line, practically on the border between Oaxaca and Chiapas States. Both are Deepwater Ports and a Container Transfer Facility could easily installed at both terminus.

Con sidering the amount of shipping from China to Europe,and Eastern U.S., this would be a worthwhile 'Private' investment for one of those .001% who control $21 to $32 Trillion... something to think about guys... making MORE money!!!

Fracking has nothing to do with this erruption idiots. Fracking requires oil, money, and fresh water to be pumped miles into the earth. Which Nicuragua has none of.
