The heart-wrenching incident unfolded when Marins, part of a hiking group, fell from a steep cliff surrounding the volcano's crater early Saturday morning. Her family disclosed the heartbreaking news through social media, thanking well-wishers for their support. The difficulty of the terrain compounded by heavy fog significantly hampered rescue efforts. Despite drone footage indicating her location and initial signs of life, rescuers struggled due to adverse weather conditions.

Marins had been traveling throughout Southeast Asia before her ascent of Indonesia's second-tallest volcano. Tragically, her death adds to the growing concerns around safety standards for hikers in areas known for their treacherous paths, especially after a similar incident involving another tourist last month. The local search and rescue team has committed to addressing these issues moving forward.
