Some interesting insight by a veteran climber of many volcanoes around the world in this article.

I was wrong about the recovery effort being over. This article says the official, confirmed death toll is up to 48 now and a dozen more bodies were recovered in a previously unsearched area. The recovery effort continues.

His compact camera was banged up, but the memory chip inside was undamaged. She printed all 100 shots. The last one is of an enormous plume billowing from the crater behind a mountaintop lodge.

Apparently there was some warning, seconds to minutes. No telling if it would help - volcano summits probably have little to hide under & behind, and that assumes a mask can handle the ash.

SUCH a sad event. There are some situations that no human can survive. This was one of them ... for people high up on that volcano. Prayers for their families.

Last I heard, there were 54 deaths on Mt Ontake.

From the preparedness angle--if anyone could really prepare for something like this--I ran across this article the other day.
