Mount Ontake, the second tallest volcano in Japan, after Mount Fuji, is a popular destination for hikers, especially in the fall when the foliage's rich autumn colors are on display. While an estimated 200-250

hikers were taking in the sites, Mount Ontake erupted for the first time in more than 35 years. At least 31 people are presumed dead after rescuers

found them showing no signs of life near the summit. Rescue teams had begun searching for dozens of

climbers who were caught by the sudden eruption. The volcano in central Japan unleashed a huge cloud of ash late Saturday morning that billowed down the

mountainside and engulfed hikers in its path. Witnesses described hearing a sound like thunder

when the eruption began. The Japan Meteorological Agency has raised the Volcanic Alert Level from 1 to 3. That means the public is advised to not approach the volcano. The agency warned that another large eruption could take place in the next six days or so.
