A dozen climbers remain missing on Indonesia’s Mount Marapi volcano after an eruption.
The bodies of 11 hikers were recovered on Monday by search and rescue teams but the search had to later be postponed after another eruption.
The volcano was spewing hot ash over 2,500 feet into the air.
Marapi started erupting on Sunday.
There were more than 50 climbers rescued on Sunday and Monday with at least 11 suffering burns and other injuries.
Volcanic ash has blanketed several villages located about five kilometres away.
“Marapi eruptions are always sudden and difficult to detect. This eruption was not caused by the movement of magma,” West Sumatra’s Search and Rescue Agency chief Abdul Malik said.
Contrary to many media reports, Marapi is a different volcano than Mount Merapi on Java island.
The latter is more well known and is one of the world’s most active volcanoes.
