'Mount Ontake in Japan erupted before noon on Saturday, Sept 27, spewing a large ash plume 3 kilometres up the sky, trapping at least 250 climbers near its summit and injuring at least 8 hikers, reports NHK World TV.'

Ominously, one hiker seems to have been very close to the eruption, which spewed hot ash miles into the air.
