Eleven climbers were found dead in Indonesia on Monday and 12 were absent after the Marapi fountain of liquid magma emitted in West Sumatra, a salvage official said, as search tasks - which were ended briefly over wellbeing concerns - continued.
Three survivors were tracked down on Monday alongside the groups of the 11 climbers, out of 75 who were nearby at the hour of Sunday's emission, said Jodi Haryawan, representative for the hunt and salvage group, adding they were all neighborhood climbers.
"We have kept on looking for the 12 missing climbers until tonight. We have not chosen when we will stop the activity," Jodi said in a call, adding they would keep clearing the three survivors and groups of climbers.
There were 49 climbers emptied from the area before on Monday and many were being treated for consumes, Jodi said.
It took around four to six hours to clear one dead body from the well of lava, Jodi said, adding: "It's extremely challenging."
The 2,891 meter (9,485 ft) high fountain of liquid magma regurgitated debris as high as 3 km out of sight on Sunday.
Marapi is one of the most dynamic volcanoes on Sumatra island and its most lethal emission was in April 1979, when 60 individuals were killed. This year, it emitted among January and February and was regurgitating debris around 75 meters-1,000 meters from the pinnacle.
Specialists raised the alarm to the second-most significant level and restricted occupants from going inside 3 km of the pit.
Video film showed an enormous haze of volcanic debris spread generally across the sky, and vehicles and streets covered with debris.
A little emission on Monday morning incited the pursuit to be briefly suspended for a couple of hours. The ejection heaved volcanic debris around 800 meters high.
Indonesia sits on the Pacific's supposed "Ring of Fire" and has 127 dynamic volcanoes, as indicated by the volcanology organization.
