Indonesian rescuers try to reach Brazilian after fall at volcano
Hikers flock to Mount Rinjani, Indonesia's second-highest volcano, for its stunning panoramic views. (File pic) JAKARTA : Indonesian rescuers tried Tuesday to reach a Brazilian tourist who fell down a ravine at a volcano popular with hikers after spotting her unmoving body, authorities said. The woman identified by relatives and media reports as Juliana Marins, 26, went missing on Saturday at Mount Rinjani on Lombok island, which neighbours Bali. Authorities think Marins fell and believe they sighted her on Monday but rescuers were held back because of bad weather. 'Yesterday morning we detected the victim. We deployed a team to the location, but we were hampered by the very steep terrain and the foggy weather,' Muhammad Hariyadi, head of Lombok's Mataram Search and Rescue Office, told AFP on Tuesday. 'When we detected her using a drone, she was not moving.' Rescuers said they were using thermal drones, mountaineering gear and a helicopter in a bid to reach the Brazilian, who was backpacking around Southeast Asia. 'One group is monitoring the evacuation using a thermal drone. The second team is doing the manual evacuation process with a rope as the main tool,' said Hariyadi. 'This morning around 50 rescuers have been dispatched, and we plan to send a helicopter team to scour the location.' An Instagram account set up by family and friends to call for her urgent rescue has amassed more than one million followers. 'Hang in there, Juliana! Help is on the way!' read a post on the account. The Brazilian embassy in Jakarta did not immediately respond to an AFP request for comment. Marins' last posts on Instagram show her backpacking around Thailand and Vietnam before reaching Indonesia. Lombok island is a tourist destination known for its idyllic beaches and lush greenery, and many try to climb Rinjani, Indonesia's second-tallest volcano, for its panoramic views. In 2018 hundreds of hikers and guides became stranded by landslides on the mountain after a 6.4-magnitude earthquake struck the island. At least 17 were killed across the island including one on the mountain.

Indonesian rescuers recover Brazilian tourist's body after fatal fall from Mount Rinjani
JAKARTA, June 26 — Indonesian rescuers have recovered the body of a Brazilian woman who died after falling off a cliff while hiking on Indonesia's second-highest volcano, rescue officials said. Juliana Marins, 27, was hiking with five friends on Mount Rinjani on Saturday when she slipped and fell off a cliff on the side of the 3,726-metre mountain. She was found dead on Tuesday, Indonesian rescuers said. Rescuers had been attempting to retrieve the body since but the effort was hampered by thick fog and the steep terrain. The body was recovered on Wednesday in a retrieval process that took six hours, Mohammad Syafii, the head of Indonesia's Search and Rescue Agency said late on Wednesday. After being lifted from the cliff, Marins' body was carried on a stretcher to the rescuers' nearest post where an ambulance took it to a hospital. 'Initially we would like to use helicopter in the evacuation but it's not possible due to the weather condition,' he said. 'So, we had to evacuate the victim on stretchers which took quite a long time.' Footage shared by the agency showed rescuers attempting to lift the body from the cliff using ropes, overshadowed by thick fog. Indonesia's rescuers agency had met with the family of Marins to explain the evacuation process, Syafii said, adding the family 'can accept the situation'. Located in West Nusa Tenggara province, Mount Rinjani is an active volcano and popular tourist site in the South-east Asian archipelago. Several tourists, including foreigners, have died in accidents while hiking the volcano over the past few years, local media reported, including a Malaysian tourist who also fell off a cliff last month. — Reuters
