The recent eruption of Mount Dukono resulted in chaos, but no one was as badly hit as a group of hikers who decided to scale the active volcano on Friday, 1st May. Rescuers have been working around the clock on the remote Indonesian island of Halmahera to rescue them and recover the dead. Recently, they successfully recovered the bodies of two Singaporean hikers who were found two days after the volcanic event.
Per the Associated Press, the bodies of the two men were found just a few meters away from the body of an Indonesian female hiker. All three individuals were located approximately 50 meters from the rim of the main crater. In one heartbreaking detail, that tells you how terrifying the incident must have been, Reuters reported that the two Singaporean hikers, aged 30 and 27, were found holding each other under rock debris near the crater rim.
