A Chinese woman has died after falling from the rim of a crater while posing for a photograph at a volcano in Indonesia.
Huang Lihong, 31, and her husband Zhang Yong were on a guided tour of the Ijen volcano in East Java province when the incident happened, the Hongxing News website reported.
The pair had climbed to the crater of the volcano to try to see the sunrise.
Police said the victim fell 75 metres (246ft) and died from her injuries.
The tour guide told the website that Huang had been warned about the dangers. She had initially been standing two to three metres from the edge of the precipice but had stepped back to take a better picture.
It is thought she accidentally stood on her long dress as she moved backwards, causing her to fall.
The Ijen volcano is a popular tourist destination because of a natural phenomenon known as blue fire, caused by the combustion of sulphur gases.
