Medan, Indonesia – As far as local ranger Ajo is concerned, no one should have been trekking on Mount Marapi, one of Indonesia’s most famous volcanoes, on December 3.
For almost a year, the 25-year-old guide, who led tours on the mountain from 2020 to 2022, had been warning authorities about increased volcanic activity at the peak, and his fears that climbers would die if the active volcano erupted.
