In September 2009, the first student excursion organized by the SalzburgerLab took us to Nicaragua in Central America.
Our primary interest were crater lakes Apoyo (picture) and Xiloa.

...on the 'foothills' of which...
...are lava tunnels (caves) with bats.
Dr. Wilfried Strauch explains the geology of Nicaragua.
