JAPAN-VOLCANO

Firefighters come down from Mount Ontake at Otaki village at Nagano prefecture on October 2, 2014, five days after the volcano erupted. At least 47 people are now known to have died in Japan’s worst volcanic disaster in nearly 90 years, but a number of people remain unaccounted for, with fears some could be entombed in the thick, sticky ash that now coats the peak.
