Indonesian rescue workers recovered the bodies of 11 climbers on Mount Marapi on Monday after a volcanic eruption and at least 22 others were being searched for.
A sudden eruption on Sunday at Mount Marapi, located in Agam province of West Sumatra, covered a thick layer of ash up to 3,000 meters in the sky and the ash cloud spread for several kilometers. On Saturday, about 75 climbers had started climbing the 2,900 meter high mountain and are stuck. Harry Augustian, an official with the local search and rescue agency in Padang, said eight of them were admitted to hospitals on Sunday.
