*****************************************************************************************
Dear volcanophiles,
The Observatory of Volcanology and Sismology of Costa Rica (OVSICORI-UNA) is
glad to inform you that the WebCam at Turrialba volcano is working again:
http://www.ovsicori.una.ac.cr/vulcanologia/videoturri.html
It shows the active crater (West Crater) from an east point of view and allows
a good observation of the new fumarolic vent that formed on January 12th,
2012, especially by night (~0h-12h UTC) as it is incandescent (T>750°C).
More information on the formation of this new fumarolic vent can be found
following this link:
