Eruptions on the Rincon of La Vieja and the Toraghay mud volcano.

The Rincon of La Vieja / Guanacaste - Costa Rica erupted on March 3, 2018 at 16:12 local.

The cypressoid plume is suggestive of a rather important phrethromagmatic eruption.

It has not yet been commented by the Ovsicori, which in its report of the same day at 11am, indicated emissions of water vapor but did not observe any seismic activity at the VRLE station.

The Rincon is customary for this type of activity: the last phreatic eruptions date from January 9 at 5:58 pm, with expulsion of mud and rock fragments, accompanied by a plume at about 1,000 meters and February 23 at 4:44 pm
