Eleven hikers were discovered lifeless in the vicinity of Indonesia's Mount Marapi volcano following a weekend eruption, according to rescuers. Twelve others remain unaccounted for, and the search was halted on Monday due to a subsequent smaller eruption. Despite the main eruption on Sunday affecting 75 hikers in the area, most were successfully evacuated. Mount Marapi emitted a 3km (9,800ft) ash cloud, casting a shadow over the sky and covering nearby villages in ash. As one of Indonesia's 127 active volcanoes, Mount Marapi is popular among hikers; however, the deadliest eruption occurred in 1979, claiming 60 lives.
