French woman dies in apparent Mexico volcano fall
A 26-year-old French woman died in an apparent fall while climbing Mexico's highest mountain, the Pico de Orizaba volcano, the French consulate told AFP on Monday.
The woman, Aurelie Pereira da Rocha, was accompanied by her brother during the incident on the 5,747-metre (18,850-foot) volcano, also known as Citlaltepetl, in eastern Mexico.
Another climber died on the same volcano last week after falling 700 metres from a glacier. — AFP

QUITO—Three mountain climbers tumbled to their death while scaling a volcano in Ecuador, authorities said Monday.
Two other people also fell in Sunday's accident but survived.
The five were climbing the difficult southern face of the Illinizas volcano, which peaks at 5,248 meters.
The fatalities were Ecuadorans ranging in age from 22 to 34, police in the town of Machachi said.
Rescuers had to go in on horseback Monday to recover the bodies because the terrain is so rough and there was so much fog on Sunday.
The climbers slipped on a snowy slope, according to the official report on the accident.
