Overview

  • Marins fell from a cliff on June 21 near the volcano’s crater rim and her body was located by Indonesian search and rescue teams on June 24.
  • Rescue efforts were repeatedly halted by dense fog, steep drops and unstable volcanic sand before teams used thermal drones to confirm her position.
  • Drone footage initially showed Marins conscious and calling for help, though shifting terrain caused her to slip further down the ravine.
  • The Brazilian embassy and Marins’ family raised concerns over conflicting updates about her condition and whether she received food and water.
  • Indonesian authorities have closed Mount Rinjani’s main trail and launched a safety review following a series of recent hiking accidents on the volcano.
