Efforts to recover the bodies of at least 24 climbers have been suspended again after the eruption on Japan's Mount Ontake intensified.
A BBC correspondent near the mountain on Tuesday said the volcano was shooting out even more ash, smoke and rocks than before.
At least 36 people are thought to have died in Saturday's unexpected eruption.
Dozens of other people were injured in the incident on the mountain, which is about 200km (125 miles) west of Tokyo.
Hundreds of firefighters, police and troops have been involved in search operations.
Twelve bodies have been recovered so far. Another 24 are reported to be on the mountain, including five more located on Monday.
Japanese authorities only declare fatalities once the body has been examined by a doctor.
Some of the bodies were found in a lodge near the summit and others were buried in ash up to 50cm (20in) deep, Japanese media reported.
Tremors
The BBC's Rupert Wingfield-Hayes was observing the volcano from a distance of around 6km (4 miles).
He said there was a great increase in the amount of material and gas being ejected on Tuesday.
An official from Japan's meteorological agency said volcanic tremors in the area could mean that another explosion was on the way.
"The strength of the tremors increased late last night, diminished and then rose again early this morning. There's the chance things could get even worse, so caution is needed," Yasuhide Hasegawa told Reuters news agency.
"This points to possibly increasing pressure due to steam inside the volcano, and if it exploded rocks could be thrown around, endangering rescuers," he said.
Japan's meteorological agency has warned that volcanic debris may settle within 4km (2.5 miles) of the peak.

Japan has a lot of volcano and is at risk of explosion. This time,Mount Ontake had a terrible eruption. The volcano was shooting out even more ash, smoke and rocks than before. It was said to hear that at least 36 people are thought to have died. We couldn't predict its occurrence. It's so terrible.
回覆刪除In my opinion, it was really a pity to hear that an unexpected volcano eruption claimed at least 36 lives.The volcano emitted lots of ashes, smoke and rocks. This was the biggest volcano eruption in Japan. Volcano eruption is a natural disaster , and it cannot be predicted. Hoping someday people can predict it.
回覆刪除I am sorry to hear this tragedy. Such this natural disaster can't not be predicted by us, so I think it is very terrible. I know that once a volcano erupts, it will cause lots of people to die. And it will also discharge a plenty of ashes, smoke and rocks, which disrupted air travel in Japan, causing delays at several airports.Unfortunately, this unexpected volcano eruption in Japan claimed many Japanese lives. I hope everything will be fine soon.
