Volcanic ash
After many days of small but constant emissions of ash and gases, Costa Rica's Turrialba Volcano, located southeast of the capital city, had a spectacular eruption early this morning.

The event was captured on a home video at 5:25 a.m. by Jesús Edu Jimal from his home in Turrialba.

Some beautiful photos of the eruption, which could be seen from many locales due to the clear weather, were also posted on the National University's Volcanology and Seismology Research Institute Facebook page (Ovsicori-UNA).

Winds blowing southeasterly, as reported by Ovsicori, mean that the ash is not directly affecting the capital city at the moment.
