  • Brazilian hiker Juliana Marins, 27, was found dead on Tuesday after falling off a cliff on Mount Rinjani, Indonesia's second highest volcano, over the weekend.
  • Marins was hiking with five friends on Saturday when she slipped on the 3,726-metre mountain.
  • Rescue efforts, involving 50 people, were hampered for four days by adverse weather, difficult terrain, and poor visibility.
  • Initially located at a depth of 150 meters, Marins had slipped further to 500 meters by Monday morning due to the soft, sandy terrain.
  • The Mount Rinjani hiking track will be closed to facilitate evacuation and as a mark of respect for Ms Marins and her family.
