Volcanos

Roundup of Global Volcanic Activity

Turrialba (Costa Rica): A relatively large explosion occurred at the volcano last night at 23:40 local time. According to local news, the eruption lasted about 45 minutes and was accompanied by strong seismic activity, which was felt by the local population. As the eruption occurred at night, there are no visual reports.

Copahue (Chile/Argentina): Signs of unrest at the volcano have decreased and SERNAGEOMIN lowered the alert level back to yellow: Seismicity declined during the past days, the volcanic edifice showed deflation and a crater lake has reformed at the bottom of El Agrio crater. Glow from the summit, probably caused by very hot gasses, was last seen on 27 Oct (but bad weather prevented observations since).
