Rescuers in Indonesia have found two more bodies of hikers on Mount Marapi, a volcano that suddenly erupted over the weekend trapping around 75 climbers.

The 2,891m-tall Marapi volcano in West Sumatra province erupted on Sunday, spewing ash as high as 3km into the sky that rained volcanic debris onto nearby villages.
