New ash emissions at Turrialba volcano in Costa Rica

Volcano Alert

Several new mild to moderately strong ash eruptions have occurred at the volcano during the past days.
 
In particular, on 16 May, one of the most intense phases of ash emissions so far took place from the volcano’s western summit crater between midnight and 15:40 local time. Ash plumes extended up to 50 km to the west and caused mild ash fall in places as Heredia and Alajuela towns.
 
A 5 km exclusion zone around the crater is in place.
