Costa Rica's Turrialba volcano released a column of gas and ash into the sky on Thursday (Friday NZT) in the latest of a series of eruptions.
According to officials, the eruption occurred at 8.37am local time and was a little bigger than recent activity at the site.
Geologist Floribet Vega said that dozens of eruptions have been registered at Turrialba in recent days.
