Volcano trip Briton disappears.
A massive search was under way last night for a Briton who disappeared on a volcano in Nicaragua.Nicholas Leigh Roth, aged 28, and American tourist Jordan Ressler, aged 23, set out last Wednesday to scale the Maderas volcano, which lies 60 miles south east of the capital Managua.
However, when they failed to return, a local innkeeper raised the alarm on Saturday.
More than 40 rescue workers have been involved in the search for the pair but their progress has been hampered by heavy rain and fog on the slopes of the 4,573ft volcano.
A Foreign Office spokesman confirmed the missing Briton was Mr Roth, although he was unable to say where he was from.
