Haunting last video shows Brazilian dancer, 26, smiling with her friend before plunging to her death in volcano crater in Indonesia
Tourist Juliana Marins, 26, plunged more than 1,000ft from the ridge of Mount Rinjani on Saturday and was trapped there for almost four days.
Ms Martins was alive after her fall but was unable to climb back up the treacherous slopes.
Rescuers reached her yesterday, only to discover they had lost the race against time and that Ms Marins had died of her injuries and exposure.
In a heartbreaking clip shared by her friend Federica, Ms Marins is shown smiling at the base camp of the volcano.
The two young women are seen joking about the view, as it has been clouded over.
'The view is amazing, you can tell it was so worth it', Federica says sarcastically.
Ms Marins jokingly responds: 'Yeah, we did it for the view, so I'm glad, amazing!'.
The Brazilian national, who was a publicist and pole dancer in Rio de Janeiro, had been backpacking through Southeast Asia since February and had been documenting her trip on social media.
Other videos of Ms Marins in the days leading up to her death show her riding on mopeds and sharing meals with friends during her travels.
Friend Federica told Brazilian news outlet G1 that the pair met the day before their hike up the volcano.
'I met Juliana the day before the trip. We were both travelling alone. We made it all the way to the top. It was very difficult', Federica said.
Shocking drone footage taken in the wake of the tumble showed an injured Ms Marins cowering in a rocky ravine, having rolled down the steep hill before coming to a stop.
She was spotted by passing tourists after they heard her screams for help. She was trapped for almost four days, but after finally reaching her yesterday, rescuers said that 'no signs of life were found'.
According to a spokesperson for East Lombok Police, the young woman was part of a hiking group and fell after she had taken a break due to tiredness.
Ms Marins' family in Brazil confirmed her death in a tragic social media post.
'Today, the rescue team managed to reach the place where Juliana Marins was.
'With great sadness, we inform you that she did not survive.
'We remain very grateful for all the prayers, messages of affection and support that we have received.'
Indonesia's National Search and Rescue Agency said it found Ms Marin's body beside a crater using a thermal drone after four days of intensive searches complicated by extremely harsh terrain and weather.
The difficult conditions and limited visibility delayed the evacuation process, the head of the rescue team, Mohammad Syafii, said.
He explained that emergency workers climbed carrying Ms Marins' body to Sembalun base camp but would have to wait until Wednesday for transport to a police hospital.
A rescue team was dispatched to the scene after receiving an emergency call at 2.32pm local time on Saturday from horrified tourists.
Six rescue teams worked in difficult weather conditions to try to reach her, with the support of two helicopters and equipment such as an industrial drill.
On Sunday, Ms Marins was spotted with a search drone, but when the rescuers began descending the volcano on Monday she was no longer in the same position, suggesting she had tried to climb to safety but to no avail.
Her body was eventually located by one of her rescue teams that managed to safely descend into the crater.
Brazil's Foreign Ministry called her death a tragedy and said the country's embassy in Jakarta, the capital of Indonesia, has coordinated the rescue with local authorities.
Ms Marins' ordeal has riveted her home country, with millions of Brazilians following the dramatic search-and-rescue efforts since news broke of her fall.
Authorities did not say when exactly she died.
Adding to the frenzy in Brazil over her ordeal, Brazil's embassy in Jakarta had accused the Indonesian government of fabricating Marins' rescue and misinforming her family that she had been located and given food and water just hours after her fall.
There was no immediate response from the Indonesian government on that claim.
In an Instagram post, Marins' family thanked the many Brazilians who had prayed for their daughter's safety.

Atlassian CEO Mike Cannon-Brookes makes huge life change - after being slammed for 'hypocrisy' over his jet-set lifestyle
A billionaire CEO and outspoken climate change crusader has ditched his $80 million private jet for a commercial flight – just weeks after facing backlash for using the highly polluting aircraft while preaching about saving the planet. Atlassian boss Mike Cannon-Brookes came under fire in March for buying an emissions-belching, multimillion-dollar Bombardier 7500. A single private jet emits as much carbon dioxide in an hour as the average person does in an entire year, with private flights 14 times more polluting (per passenger) than a commercial plane. In less than a year, his Bombardier Global 7500 has flown more than 440,000 kilometres – the equivalent of travelling to the moon and starting the journey back – across four continents and 43 airports. His globe-trotting itinerary reads like a billionaire's bucket list: European capitals, American national parks, luxury Pacific resorts, and high-octane Formula One events. According to flight data collated by The Australian, the jet has spent over 531 hours in the air, nearly 22 full days, and has flown on 309 separate days since last September. Analysts estimate the carbon dioxide emissions from Mr Cannon-Brookes' flights would be enough to power a town of 2,400 homes for a year. But following major backlash over his private jet use, Mr Cannon-Brookes was seen strolling through Sydney Airport on Monday after a commercial flight from Los Angeles. The businessman was just one of a crowd of passengers who had embarked on the overnight, long-distance flight. Wearing a black t-shirt and bomber jacket with beige trousers, he wheeled his carry-on bag, but no checked-in luggage, to the valet service. Despite flying around the world in a private jet, Mr Cannon-Brookes previously warned the world needs to change its eating habits by adding insects to its daily diet if the planet is to feed a global population of eight billion. As part of his climate change agenda, Mr Cannon-Brookes became AGL's largest shareholder in 2022, purchasing an 11 per cent stake to pressure the company into accelerating its move to renewable energy. He used his influence to block AGL's proposed demerger, which would have extended the life of its coal-fired power plants, and publicly called AGL 'one of the most toxic companies on the planet' due to its high carbon dioxide emissions. After purchasing the private jet, Mr Cannon-Brookes admitted he had a 'deep internal conflict' about buying the aircraft given his stance on climate change, but ultimately decided his interests were the priority and continued to use the plane. 'There's a couple of reasons I've purchased a plane. Personal security is the primary reason... but also so I can run a global business from Australia, and still be a constantly present dad,' he said. 'So, this is a hard, continual trade-off I've decided to make.' Mr Cannon-Brookes defended his private jet use by pointing to what he described as an 'extremely rigorous carbon regime' applied to his flights, including sustainable aviation fuel and direct air capture technology. An avid climate change campaigner, Mr Cannon-Brookes once urged Australians to eat insects to save the planet and solve the issue of feeding a global population 'These options aren't practical for commercial flights but are viable privately,' he told The Australian. 'This means my flights actually have a net negative carbon footprint.' But now it appears the media storm over his private jet use has impacted him – as he returns to commercial jets like the rest of us.

Tourists warned to NOT do these five things on holiday to avoid fines costing hundreds
Tourists have been warned not to do five specific things on holiday to avoid fines costing hundreds. Millions of Brits will be jetting off this summer and most won't want to be landed with additional charges during their travels. UK holiday provider has revealed the hidden costs that can crop up on holidays. From bringing extra guests without permission to losing the holiday home key, there's plenty that can go wrong and lead to surprise fees. One thing that could see an unsuspecting tourist slapped with a fine is taking home the towels or robes. Hotels and holiday homes often provide bath and hand towels, as well as dressing gowns for added comfort. Unbeknownst to some, they aren't for keeps. According to guests have been hit with charges of up to £150 for taking them home. They recommend asking the owner where the items were purchased from, instead of helping themselves. Although it may be an accident, losing the holiday home key could bring a hefty charge too. Keys are small and easily lost, especially while trying to balance several bags and cases too. But losing them could be expensive, with locksmith services, lock replacement and key cutting coming to a £375 charge. Holidays can sometimes be chaotic and leaving the accommodation in a reasonable condition may feel difficult but it's essential to avoid an added cost. The holiday provider revealed messy tourists can face cleaning fees ranging from £50 to a whopping £200. They recommend checking the host's policy in advance. It may be difficult to be packed and ready to leave by a certain time, especially early in the morning. But checking out late can also lead to extra charges. Some holiday home owners charge up to £80 per hour for departures past the agreed time, according to Finally, another thing holidaymakers should avoid is bringing extra visitors to stay with them. Bringing additional guests where not agreed or paid for can lead to fees usually between £15 to £40 per person.

Revealed: The surprisingly illegal things tourists can get in trouble for - from chewing gum to dancing
There's plenty of things to consider when visiting somewhere new - from the language, different cuisine, to cultural norms. Rules and laws vary across countries, too, and some may seem surprising to foreigners. Dubai has strict regulations around government buildings, while in France, drivers should be aware of a certain type of footwear when driving. In Venice, pigeons are a no-go for feeding, and in Singapore, lovers of chewing gum might struggle. Read on below to find out all the surprisingly illegal things around the world. Dubai In the United Arab Emirates, people are prohibited taking photographs of government buildings. The UK Foreign Office warns: 'It is illegal to take photos of some government buildings and military installations. 'Hobbies like bird watching and plane spotting may be misunderstood, particularly near military sites, government buildings and airports.' Greece A popular destination for its sandy beaches, white buildings and delicious cuisine. But tourists visiting Greece should be mindful of what shoes they wear when sightseeing historic structures. High heels have been banned from landmarks in Athens, including the Acropolis and the Epidaurus Theatre, since 2009. Anyone not following the rule could be hit with a €900 fine, according to the The Express. Italy While in Venice, visitors may be enamoured by the many characterful pigeons, but they are prohibited from feeding them. It's been illegal to do so since 2008, when the sale and distribution of grain to feed pigeons was banned. At the time, according to Reuter s, the pesky birds were pecking at marble statues in the cities looking for crumbs. France Any holidaymakers driving through France should be careful of their footwear choice. Drivers are prohibited from wearing 'unsuitable footwear' according to Travel And Tour World. Officers often check those in popular holiday hotspots for the mistake. Sweden Previously in Sweden, venues including nightclubs and bars needed a permit for customers to be allowed to legally dance. The Swedish government said in 2023 it intended to scrap the 67-year-old law that required owners of night clubs and bars to obtain a license for dancing. Instead, it was proposed that they would have to register with the police, according to AP. Sri Lanka Many tourists enjoy taking photographs during their holidays as keepsakes. However, it is prohibited to take pictures with Buddha statues in Sri Lanka. The UK Foreign Office notes: 'Do not pose for photographs standing in front of a statue of Buddha.' Singapore Though perfectly acceptable to consume in the UK, chewing gum is restricted in Singapore. According to the Economic Times, it is illegal to import, sell or carry gum in the country. Those doing so need a medical prescription, and only dental gum is allowed. The law was made in an attempt to help keep the country clean, and stop damage to pavements. Egypt While in Egypt, it is prohibited to use drones without official permission. The Foreign Office warns against using the tech and says, 'It is illegal to use radio-controlled helicopters or drones to take photos near sensitive sites. 'Do not import, use or produce drones in Egypt unless the Egyptian Ministry of Defence gives you permission beforehand. 'Anyone who uses or imports drones without permission could get a prison sentence of up to 7 years or a fine of 5,000 to 50,000 Egyptian pounds.' Maldives Holidaymakers should be mindful when relaxing in public beaches and local areas of what swimwear they're wearing. The Foreign Office advises: 'You should be sensitive to local dress standards when outside holiday resorts, including on beaches used by locals.' They add that men and women should 'have arms and upper legs covered when bathing'. 'Nudism and topless sunbathing are not allowed anywhere, including on resort islands.' While some beaches on private resorts are more relaxed with the rules and allow bikinis and other swimwear, according to Explore.
