A tragic incident occurred on June 21 when 26-year-old Brazilian hiker Juliana Marins fell off a cliff while climbing Mount Rinjani, an active volcano in Indonesia. Marins was reportedly hiking with a guide at the time, but after requesting a break, it appears the group continued without her. When the guide returned, he found that Marins had fallen and became stranded in a perilous location deep within the volcano.
Despite efforts to rescue her, Marins could not be saved. Her family shared the heartbreaking news on social media, expressing their gratitude for the prayers and support they had received during the search. They also highlighted concerns about the lack of support she received after the fall, with Marins having been left stranded in dangerous conditions.
The search for Marins was complicated by difficult terrain and inclement weather, with rescue teams encountering significant obstacles. The victim was located using a drone, but the crew was unable to reach her due to overhangs blocking their path. The operation was eventually canceled due to bad weather, and Marins was confirmed dead.
Her death has sparked widespread sympathy, particularly in Brazil, where many mourn the loss of a young woman from Niterói. Brazilian officials have called for an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the incident, emphasizing the need for accountability in the handling of the rescue efforts.
