TRAGEDY: Hiker Found Dead After Falling From Active Volcano
A Brazilian tourist was found deceased after falling hundreds of feet from the ridge of an active volcano in Indonesia.
Juliana Marins, 26, was hiking Mount Rinjani with a group when she slipped and fell down the cliff face.
She was trapped there for nearly four days and found dead on Tuesday.
Reports said efforts to save her were hampered by horrendous weather conditions.

From the New York Post:
As of Monday, the vacationer had slipped to more than 1,600 feet.
Initial “screams for help” from Marins were heard, and drone footage showed her still alive after her first fall. But rescue crews were unable to reach her because of the thick fog engulfing the volcano and other adverse conditions.
In addition to the visibility issues, the head of the local rescuers, Muhammad Hariyadi, said the young woman had become trapped on soft sand, making it difficult to try to retrieve her with ropes.
Two futile rescue attempts were made, authorities said.
“After four days of work, hindered by adverse weather, terrain and visibility conditions in the region, teams from Indonesia’s Search and Rescue Agency found the body of the Brazilian tourist,” Brazil’s government said in a statement Tuesday.

Per NBC News:
“No signs of life were found,” said Mohammad Syafii, head of Indonesia’s National Search and Rescue Agency.
Marins’ family in Brazil confirmed her death.
The Indonesian rescue team said it found Marins’ body beside a crater using a thermal drone after four days of intensive searches complicated by extremely harsh terrain and weather.
The difficult conditions and limited visibility delayed the evacuation process, Syafii said, as the rescue team climbed carrying Marins’ body to Sembalun basecamp but would have to wait until Wednesday for transport to a police hospital.
Brazil’s Foreign Ministry called her death a tragedy and said that the country’s embassy in Jakarta, the capital of Indonesia, had coordinated the rescue with local authorities.
