Volcanic Eruption Details

The eruption of Mount Dukono on Halmahera island on Friday generated an ash tower reaching 10 kilometres into the sky, leading to the deaths of three climbers. The volcano, which is one of Indonesia's most active, has been under a level two alert since 2008, with an established four-kilometre exclusion zone around its crater.
Recovery of Deceased Hikers

Despite ongoing volcanic activity, search and rescue teams located the remains of the two deceased Singaporean hikers. Their bodies were discovered in close proximity to where the remains of an Indonesian hiker had been found the previous day, indicating they were all in the vicinity of the eruption's impact. The recovery efforts faced challenges due to the significant depth and thickness of the volcanic material burying the victims.
