  • Sept. 27, 2014 taken by 59-year-old hiker Izumi Noguchi who fell victim to the eruption of Mount Ontake, and was offered to Kyodo News by his wife, Hiromi. A hiker standing on the summit shrine compound on Mount Ontake watches dense plumes of gases and ash billowing from the crater as the volcanic mountain starts to erupt in central Japan. Construction company employee Noguchi was climbing alone, as his usual hiking companion, his wife Hiromi, had to work, she told Japanese broadcaster NHK and other media. His compact camera was banged up, but the memory chip inside was undamaged. Izumi Noguchi / AP
