On a Friday morning in eastern Indonesia, Mount Dukono reminded twenty hikers of something they had chosen to forget: that an active volcano is not a destination but a force. Three of them — two foreign nationals and one local resident — did not survive the eruption that sent ash ten kilometers skyward at 07:41 local time. The mountain had been closed to climbers for precisely this reason, and the tragedy now asks a question older than any summit: what compels human beings to walk toward what they have been warned away from?
