however,
the

decided
on a
rumble
of
its
own.
It
was
around
2pm
when
residents
heard
the
rumbles
from
the
volanco
located
north
of
San
José
in
the
province
of
Guanacaste.

Martinez,
volcanologist
from
the
Volcanological
and
Seismological
Observatory
of
Costa
Rica
(OVSICORI),
explained
that
the
phreatic
eruption
occurred
i
the
lake
and
spewed
water
and
sediment
over
the
outer
edge
on
the
north
side
of
the
volcano.
Authorities
recommend
not
to
approach
the
area
and
do
not
rule
a
new

The
entrance
to
the
national

is
closed.
Both
