The bodies of 11 climbers were recovered on Monday after the Mount Marapi volcano in Indonesia erupted, officials said.
Mount Marapi in Agam district in West Sumatra province spewed thick columns of ash as high as 3,000 metres (9,800 feet) into the sky in a sudden eruption on Sunday and hot ash clouds spread several miles.
Villages and nearby towns were blanketed by tons of volcanic debris.
About 75 climbers started their way up the nearly 2,900-metre (9,480-foot) mountain on Saturday and became stranded.
