In brief
Rescue crews are on a race against time to save Juliana Marins, a young Brazilian hiker who has been missing after a fall on Mount Rinjani in Indonesia.
Rescue teams are urgently mobilizing to locate a Brazilian woman who fell several hundred feet while hiking Mount Rinjani, an active volcano in Indonesia. Juliana Marins, in her twenties, was reported missing after her fall on Saturday, and has been unreachable since that time, raising concerns among her family and friends.According to local authorities, the Brazilian woman fell approximately 1,600 feet and was captured in a drone footage taken by the rescue team, indicating she had remained motionless since the incident. In response, officials in Mataram have prepared a helicopter rescue operation equipped with 2,000 meters of rope to attempt to reach Ms. Marins, described as a "very risky" endeavor by Muhamad Hariyadi, the head of the local search and rescue office.Mount Rinjani, situated on the island of Lombok and renowned for its breathtaking panoramic views, stands as Indonesia's second-highest volcano at 12,224 feet. The mountain is a significant attraction for tourists, particularly hikers captivated by the lush landscapes and the stunning, deep blue volcanic lake within its caldera.Ms. Marins had previously shared her love for the views during the climb via a video sent to friends and family which has since been released on an Instagram platform raising awareness of her situation. Another hiker on the mountain recorded a clip of the surrounding fog and dozens of climbing tents, humorously implying they had undertaken the challenging journey "for the view" just as Ms. Marins had expressed.As the rescue operation continues, hopes remain high for a successful recovery of Juliana Marins from the treacherous terrain of Mount Rinjani.
