Indonesia: 11 Climbers Presumed Dead After Mount Merapi Explosion
On Sunday, Mount Merapi, which is located on the island of Sumatra, erupted, sending a column of ash 3,000 meters high into the sky and dumping volcanic debris upon nearby settlements. Following the initial eruption on Sunday, almost fifty climbers were saved, while eleven more were initially deemed dead. Monday saw another eruption that briefly stopped search efforts and released a fresh rush of scorching ash up to 800 meters into the sky.
