SUDDEN and extensive land movement has fissured the site of the Los Iros mud volcano in South Trinidad over the past few days, leaving acres of farmland and agricultural access roads damaged and cracked.

Between late Thursday evening and yesterday morning, the movement began, tearing down agricultural camps and bursting ponds dug by farmers in the area.
