(UPDATE) PADANG, Indonesia: Eleven hikers were found dead on Monday and another 12 were missing after a volcano erupted in western Indonesia, with rescuers racing to carry injured and burned survivors down the mountain on foot.

Rescuers worked through the night to find dozens of hikers stranded on Mount Marapi, on the island of Sumatra, after it spewed an ash tower 3,000 meters (9,340 feet) — taller than the volcano itself — into the sky on Sunday.
