Experts have said that the Limon province is being affected with the ash coming from Costa Rica's Turrialba Volcano. They also said that ash again reached several areas north of San Joséash again reached several areas north of San José. It is believed that it is the first time that ash had appeared in Limon, falling on the city of Guapiles.

Experts have noticed craters in the earth measuring up to one meter in diameter that were formed around the Turrialba Volcano because of rocks shooting out from the volcano and falling around. A team of experts from the National Seismological Network (RSN) and the Volcanological and Seismological Observatory of Costa Rica (OVSICORI) conducted an inspection of the area following the volcanic activity in the previous week.

RSN volcanologist Gino Gonzalez Ilama said that the area of impact include areas on the south side of the volcano and cover 80 percent of the slope up to 400 meters from the volcano's crater.

"We observed the impact of volcanic rock that had caused several craters on the ground. We believe the rocks were shot out of the volcano at speeds greater than 100 kilometers per hour, and this proves there is strong activity inside," Gonzalez said.
