Poas volcano crater
There's just a little water in the northern sector and the rest is gone because of the heat produced by the magmatic body.
Another change is that at the central part of the crater there are fumaroles that used to be on the bottom, making the degassing even more remarkable.
This Friday the cameras became active at 1 pm and showed that there was an eruption. It lasted until 7 pm with the emission of ash, water vapor and white gases. The ash column reached 1,000 meters high.
It was expected that the volcanic material would be moved westward, falling in the Central Valley and highlands of Guanacaste.

Resident Dodi Brauen was watching the storm clouds from her front porch when the tornado started to take shape. "It started to rain, a little bit, and then I said 'oh, that looks like a funnel cloud.'" she said. "It looked like it was drawing the dust up." Watching from her home on the east outskirts of town, she said the tornado seemed to bypass her house before continuing on east.

Taiwanese nature photographer Luis Lai (賴仲由) did, and he captured it on his smartphone.
Friday night, as extreme torrential rains were battering large parts of Taiwan, Lai went to the top floor of his home in the Changhua County village of Dacun (大村), reports said.
He only wanted to check whether all the doors and windows were ready to withstand the rain, but in addition, he saw bolts of lightning and hurried to record six seconds on his smartphone as it struck behind a red-roofed building in his neighborhood.
Philip Shard, 60, died in hospital last week after being struck and collapsed while playing golf at the Fynn Valley Golf Club, Witnesham last Saturday.
The club said it was a "tragic incident". A spokesman for the East of England Ambulance Service said crews "treated a man, believed to be in his 60s, who was in cardiac arrest".
Mr Shard was married and lived in Rushmere, near Ipswich.
The tremor occurred at 23:48 GMT. The epicenter of the quake was located at the depth of 190 kilometers (118 miles) and centered 91 kilometers (56.5 miles) west of Madang province.
There have been no reports of destruction or casualties caused by the earthquake so far.
No tsunami warning was issued.
While three persons each died due to lightning in Dahod and Surat, two in Rajkot and Jetpur met the same fate. A farm labourer woman was also killed by lightning in Bharuch.
The rains and gust left a trail of destruction in Devgadh Baria, Dhanpur and Jhalod districts of Dahod where five bovines also died either by lightning or trees falling on them. In Dungri village of Jhalod, a girl identified as Kavita Muniya died after a huge neem tree fell on her house.
In Naogaon, two workers -- Shahidul Islam, 48, son of Moslem Uddin, and Rasi Chowdhury, 30, son of Mahfuzul Haque, -- suffered injuries after a thunderbolt struck them at Kuchinda-Kamarpara village in Sapahar upazila in the evening.
They were first taken to Sahapar Upazila Health Complex from where they were referred to Rajshahi Medical College Hospital (RMCH) as their condition deteriorated, said officer-in-charge of Sapahar police station Samsul Alam Shah.
The duo died on the way to the RMCH, the OC added.
Besides, four people were injured after they were hit by a lightning strike at Uchadanga village in the upazila at the same time.

District official S. Madhuranthangi said that the elephant strayed into a residential area on the outskirts of the Coimbatore city from a nearby forest and carried out three attacks, sending residents into a state of panic.
Madhuranthangi said: "the elephant first entered a house and attacked a family that was asleep. It lifted a twelve-year girl with its trunk and flung her to the ground, causing her to die on the spot.
"It trampled two women and a 70-year-old man to death in separate attacks later."
She said Five more people injured in the attacks were admitted to hospitals in Coimbatore, where the condition of two wounded was said to be serious.
Hundreds gathered in the area as wildlife and police teams attempted to tranquilise the animal to arrange for its return to the forest.
