Rescue teams continue their efforts on Mount Rinjani after Brazilian tourist Juliana Marins went missing during a hike.
Rescue operations are focused on locating 26-year-old Juliana Marins, who vanished on Saturday near the crater of Mount Rinjani, an active volcano in Indonesia. Family and Brazilian media have reported that Marins fell from a cliff while hiking with a group. Local authorities revealed that early search efforts were complicated by hazardous weather conditions, ensuing fog, and treacherous terrain.
According to Mount Rinjani park officials, rescuers initially heard Marins crying for help on Saturday morning.
