Craig Arnold presumed dead on Kuchinoerabujima

[An image of Craig's footprint on Sukurajima, in the volcanoes of the Ryukyu Islands, taken from his facebook page. He is presumed dead on Kuchinoerabu-jima, a volcano in the northern Ryukyu archipelago, after sustaining a leg injury and falling from a very high cliff. His brother, Chris, however, is still, as of May 10, on the island and remains hopeful that there is a slim chance Craig could yet be found alive. Technical climbers are needed in order to continue the search for Craig in the area identified by 1SRG as the likely place where Craig fell].
