Volcano Erupts in Costa Rica, Shuts Down Airport

Costa Rica’s Turriabla volcano erupted early Monday, lighting up the night sky. According to Costa Rica’s volcano and seismology observatory, a second eruption occurred later that same morning, sending ash and smoke some 13,000 feet into the air. Both eruptions lasted around 15 minutes. Authorities have temporarily closed Costa Rica’s International Airport following the explosions fearing the volcanic ash could cause problems for planes.
