Young tourist plunges into massive volcano in Indonesia
Rescue teams are desperately working to save a stranded Brazilian tourist after she plunged into an active volcano in Indonesia. Juliana Marins, 26, was trekking up Mount Rinjani, the second highest volcano in Indonesia, when she reportedly slipped and fell from the hiking trail in the early hours of Saturday. The young woman, who works as a publicist and pole dancer, screamed as she plummeted off the edge overlooking the volcano's famous crater lake. She was said to have rolled 300 metres down the slope before coming to a stop in a rocky ravine. Ms Marins, from Rio de Janeiro, was spotted by passing tourists after they heard her screams for help. She was lying on the ground, alive but unable to climb back up. Shocking footage shows Ms Marins crouching on a terrifyingly steep slope as one onlooker shouts, 'We're here with you.' AKP Nikolas Osman, spokesman for the East Lombok Police told local media: 'While heading to the summit of Rinjani on the way to the Cemara Tunggal area, the victim experienced fatigue and the guide at that time advised her to rest. Then the five guests in the tour group were taken by the guide to continue the journey. 'However, by the time he returned to fetch her, the Brazilian woman was already missing.' A rescue team was dispatched to the scene after receiving an emergency call at 2:32pm local time. 'The team has descended 300 metres but we have not reached the victim. We tried to call out to her but there was no response,' said the head of the Mount Rinjani National Park Office. 'At 10am, visual information from the drone showed that the victim was no longer at the previous point.' Officials said the search was continuing, but Ms Marins remains missing as of right now. More drones have been deployed to aid in the search as dozens of rescuers descended the volcano to cover ground towards Lake Segara Anak. Speaking to local media, Ms Marins' sister Mariana has hit back at cruel rumours that she has been safely rescued. 'We received, with great concern and apprehension, information that the rescue team took food, water and warm clothing to Juliana. This is not true. The information we have is that so far they have not been able to reach her, because the rescue ropes were not long enough, in addition to the low visibility. 'All the videos that were made are lies, including the one of the rescue arriving at her. The video was forged to look like that, along with this message associated with it. 'We even celebrated. It was a shock to find out that it was a lie,' she said. The Brazilian Foreign Ministry issued a statement revealing that the Brazilian embassy in Jakarta has sent representatives to closely monitor the rescue. 'The ambassador has personally contacted the International Director of the Search and Rescue Agency and the Director of the Indonesian National Disaster Agency, and has received reports from the local authorities on the progress of the work,' they said. Ms Marins had been on a solo trip across Asia since February. Before the incident, she had previously visited Thailand, Vietnam, and the Philippines, documenting her journey on her social media. Mount Rinjani is an active volcano located on the island of Lombok in Indonesia, standing at 3,700 metres (12,200 feet) and is the highest point in the province of West Nusa Tenggara. In 2018, the mountain was hit by a 6.4 magnitude volcano, triggering landslides that cut off escape routes. At least 16 people died and more than 330 were injured. In 2010, lava began flowing from the volcano, spilling into the lake and creating 2km high ash plumes.

Race to save tourist, 26, trapped in active volcano for days after horror fall
Juliana Marins, a tourist from Brazil, was on a trek to climb Indonesia's Rinjani volcano when she is believed to have slipped and fallen inside and rescue teams have so far not managed to reach her A tourist slipped inside an active volcano and has now been trapped inside for three days with rescue teams so far unable to reach her. Distressing last footage shows Juliana Marins after she fell from one of the most dangerous hiking paths in the world into the 12,000-foot-high active volcano. The 26 year old had been on a trek to scale Indonesia's Rinjani volcano on June 20 when she slipped and plunged nearly 1,000 feet down the peak. She is claimed to have been stopped and waited on a trek led by guide Ali Mustafa after saying she was too tired to go on. Ms Marins who works as a publicist and pole dancer, reportedly screamed as she lost her footing. When the guide returned with the other five hikers Juliana had gone but the hikers then saw her where she had landed and was unable to climb back up. Drone footage shot by another tour group shows her stranded in the volcano apparently stuck fast in a crevasse unable to free herself. She is looking confused and dazed and apparently able to move just her arms and her torso with her legs curled at a strange angle as the film ends. She is wearing just jeans, a T-shirt, gloves, and trainers despite the altitude and intense cold. Rescuers' attempts to reach Juliana were abandoned on June 22 after fog reduced visibility to near zero, local authorities reported. Spokesman for the East Lombok Police, Nikolas Osman, said Juliana was in a group going to the summit of Rinjani. "The victim experienced fatigue and the guide at that time advised her to rest," he said. "Then the five guests in the tour group were taken by the guide to continue the journey." Today a tour guide said that the woman was spotted again further down the slope and rescue teams are struggling in difficult conditions due to the terrain and thick fog. Her family in Niteroi, eastern Brazil, deny Indonesian claims that they had been able to airdrop food and clothing to her. Instead they say a botched rescue bid was abandoned over the weekend when a helicopter crew realised the rope they had was too short. An Instagram page resgatejulianamarins set up by her family giving updates has said that experienced local mountaineers are heading to join the search. It stated "We have confirmed information that two well-experienced mountaineers from the area are headed to the scene of Juliana's crash. "We don't have information on whether they will be able to continue the rescue operation overnight, but we do know that there is good backup with specialized equipment to accompany crews already on site." Brazil's foreign ministry said in a statement: "Since being alerted by her family, the Brazilian embassy in Jakarta has mobilised local authorities at the highest level. "This has brought the rescue teams to the area of the volcano where the fall took place in a remote region about four hours away from the nearest urban centre." Juliana's family remains hopeful, and her sister Mariana Marins said: "I believe my sister is alive." She had been on a three-month backpacking trip through Asia when she disappeared.
