Turrialba volcano continues with eruptions and ash emissions

February 11, 2018 by Staff News Writer

On Sunday, Turrialba Volcano maintained the eruptive activity that began in recent days. It continues to emit ash passively, as reported by the Volcanological and Seismological Observatory of Costa Rica (OVSICORI).

The ash plume does not exceed 300 meters above the crater, although the activity was continuous throughout the weekend and many communities in the Central Valley were filled ash. Moravia, Lindora, Curridabat, San Francisco de Dos Rios, Coronado, Colonia Kennedy, San Rafael de Escazu , El Carmen de Guadalupe, Montes de Oca, San Sebastian, Santo Domingo de Heredia, San Isidro de Coronado, Purral and Cartago have been the most affected areas. In addition, sulfur odor has been perceived in some of these places.

Poás and Rincón de la Vieja volcanoes remain calm.
