On a Friday morning in May, Mount Dukono — a volcano on the Indonesian island of Halmahera that has erupted continuously since 1933 — claimed three lives when roughly twenty climbers entered a restricted zone in pursuit of online content. The mountain offered no new warnings; its danger was ancient and well-documented. What was new was the appetite that drew people past the signs and into the ash. Three bodies remain on the slopes, unreachable, as the volcano continues to speak in the only language it has ever known.
