Poás Volcano is currently emitting a gas plume that reaches up to one kilometer in the sky.

According to Guillermo Alvarado, from the National Seismological Network (RSN),

seismographs mainly record LF earthquakes and several VTs. The tremor signal is small.”

He added that the plume is quite vertical, with a height that fluctuates about 1 km from the bottom of the crater.

The gases and particles are dispersed by prevailing winds to the northwest-west and south-southeast,”

added the volcanologist.
