The eruption sent a powerful\u2063 burst of hot ash soaring \u2062up to \u200d2,620 feet \u2062into \u200dthe air, creating a dangerous\u2062 situation for rescue operations.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier in the day, the bodies\u200b of 11 climbers were recovered while\u2062 search teams were still looking for the\u2062 missing individuals. However, the\u200c renewed\u2063 volcanic activity \u200cmade it difficult to continue the search. The \u2064operation will resume as soon as\u200b conditions improve,\u2062 according to Abdul Malik, the head of\u2063 West \u2063Sumatra&#8217;s Search and Rescue Agency.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>A video released\u2063 by the \u2063agency showed rescuers bravely evacuating an injured\u200c climber on a stretcher, carefully navigating the treacherous mountain terrain. The climber was then transported to a\u2064 waiting ambulance, ready to be taken \u2062to the\u200c hospital for\u2062 medical attention.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Mount Marapi initially erupted on Sunday, releasing \u2062clouds of hot ash. \u200cSince \u200c2011, the volcano has been at the \u200cthird highest \u200balert level,\u2063 indicating above-normal volcanic activity. Climbers \u2063and villagers within 1.8 miles of the\u2063 peak are prohibited from entering the area due to the potential\u2064 danger.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;This\u2063 means \u2062that climbing to the \u200cpeak is strictly forbidden,&#8221; stated Hendra Gunawan, the head of the Center for Volcanology and Geological Disaster\u200c Mitigation. However, some \u2063climbers still choose to break the rules in their pursuit of reaching\u2062 higher altitudes.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Approximately 75 climbers had \u200bembarked on their journey up the nearly \u20639,480-foot mountain\u200c on Saturday, but they became stranded due to the eruption. So\u200b far, 52 climbers have been\u200d rescued, including three on Monday. Eight of\u200c those rescued on Sunday\u200c were rushed to the hospital \u200bwith burns, while one suffered\u2064 a broken limb.<\/p>\n<p>All climbers had registered\u200b at designated command \u2062posts or online \u200dbefore starting \u2062their ascent, ensuring that \u2064their whereabouts were \u2063known. However, the exact number of people still \u200bstranded remains \u200buncertain,\u2064 as some may \u200chave taken unauthorized \u2062routes\u2063 or \u200dlocal residents could have\u200c been in the area.<\/p>\n<p>The eruption on Sunday sent thick columns of ash as high as 9,800 feet into\u2062 the sky, covering nearby villages and towns with volcanic debris. Falling ash blocked sunlight and coated\u200c the faces and hair of evacuated climbers. Authorities distributed masks and advised\u2064 residents to wear eyeglasses for protection.<\/p>\n<p>Mount Marapi is home to approximately 1,400 people living\u2064 on its slopes. \u200bThe volcano has been regularly erupting since \u20632004, \u200cwith eruptions \u200doccurring every 2 to 4 years. The recent eruption was not caused \u200cby magma movement but rather by a rapid eruption\u200d process near the surface.<\/p>\n<p>Indonesia, with over <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/indonesias-marapi-volcano-erupts-spewing-ash-plumes-and-blanketing-several-villages-with-ash\/\" title=\"Marapi volcano in Indonesia erupts, covering villages with ash\">120 active volcanoes<\/a>, is\u2064 located on the Pacific\u200d &#8220;Ring of \u2064Fire,&#8221; a region known \u200dfor its\u200b high volcanic and seismic\u200b activity.
