Overview
- Juliana Marins, a 26-year-old Brazilian tourist, fell from a hiking trail near Mount Rinjani’s crater on Saturday and landed nearly 1,000 feet below.
- Rescue teams using drones have confirmed her survival multiple times but have repeatedly had to abort vertical rescue attempts because of dense fog and unstable slopes.
- Authorities report that her location shifted after the initial fall, complicating rope-access operations and search planning.
- Her family and rescuers have chronicled the ongoing mission on social media, and her sister has publicly refuted false claims that Marins had already been rescued.
- Mount Rinjani National Park officials have called on future trekkers to thoroughly prepare and stay vigilant when navigating the popular but hazardous route.
