Dramatic footage has emerged from Nicaragua this week after visitors to Telica Volcano found themselves just feet away from its massive crater as it spewed dark clouds of ash and gas high into the sky.
According to the Nicaraguan Institute of Territorial Studies, which monitors seismic and volcanic activity, the country’s most-active volcano let out a first, loud explosion on Sunday.
Nearly 50 small gas and ash explosions together with seven micro-earthquakes have since been reported.
The three-thousand-475-foot volcano is located in rural area of Leon province in western Nicaragua.
According to media, nearby farming communities and homes were covered with ash and soot from Telica.
Authorities said there were no immediate reports of injuries or damage.
Although no evacuation order has been issued, authorities are bracing for possible escalation in volcanic activity.
Some 2,500people live near the massive volcano, located 69 miles northwest of the capital of Managua.
