Brazilian tourist dies on volcano in Indonesia, body found after 4-day search
Juliana Marins, 26, fell from a ridge on Mount Rinjani in Lombok on Saturday. Her body was recovered four days later
A young Brazilian hiker who fell hundreds of metres from the ridge of a towering Indonesian volcano and was trapped there for almost four days has been found dead.
The tourist, 26-year-old Juliana Marins, began summiting Mount Rinjani, an active 3,726-metre (12,224-foot) volcano on the Indonesian island of Lombok, on Saturday with a guide and five other foreigners when she fell some 600 metres (1,968 feet), Indonesian authorities said.
Marins’ family in Brazil confirmed her death.
The Indonesian rescue team said it found Marins’ body on Tuesday beside a crater using a thermal drone after four days of intensive searches complicated by extremely harsh terrain and weather.
