Turrialba
Volcano
Increases
Activity
Thursday
morning
the
Turrialbla
volcano
unleashed
a
new
series
of
eruptions,
with
experts
converging
on
the
colossus
to
take
a
close
look
at
the
smoke
emanations
coming
from
its
centre.

According
to
the
Red
Sismológica
Nacional
(RSN)
and
the
Observatorio
Vulcanologio
y
Sismologico
de
Costa
Rica
(OVISCORI)
the
activity
does
not
present
any
danger,
but
will
continue
to
monitor
the
volcano
much
closer.
The
alert
followed
reports
by
area
residents
of
hearing
a
large
rumble
and
then
the
sighting
of
dark
coloured
smoke,
produced
by
gas
fumes
from
the
volcano.
Last
January
the
volcano
became
a
concern
for
residents
and
experts
following
the
emanation
of
white
gas
fumes.
Several
RSN
experts
are
on
their
way
to
the
top
of
the
volcano
and
the
OVISCORI
is
keeping
the
national
park
closed
and
under
a
green
alert.
