The bodies of 11 hikers were discovered near the crater of Indonesia 's Marapi volcano following after it erupted on Sunday. There were a total of 75 hikers in and around the crater of the volcano, with 12 people still missing. Search and rescue teams have however been halted after a 'small eruption' occurred on Monday, but they managed to bring another three people to safety.
Rescue personnel took turns bringing the dead and injured down the mountain's difficult terrain, some suffering from burns as a result of the extreme heat. Jodi Haryawan, spokesperson for the local search and rescue team, told reporters that it would be "too dangerous to continue searching while the volcano was erupting".
