It's very true that the ash from Irazú seems to have fertilized the ground surrounding the volcano. Some of the most fertile land now lies at the base of Irazú. Please keep reading and commenting. We love to hear from our readers. Thank you for your personal account of the 1963 eruption. It’s very true that the ash from Irazú seems to have fertilized the ground surrounding the volcano.

Had to stop wearing my contact lenses because of the thick ash that fell day and night, and caused severe eye irritation. The ash was piled high in the gutters, and people walked around with handkerchiefs tied over their nose and mouth. Cattle died, the fields were all blackened, and everyone and everything was covered in the fine ash. When it finally stopped, we drove up to the volcano, and it looked like a moonscape. There were no birds, no insect life, and no greenery at all left in the foothills of the volcano. Later, everything thrived from the composition of the fallen ashes.
