View all search resultsSafety on the 3,727-meter peak has come under intense scrutiny following the tragic death of Juliana De Souza Pereira Marins, a 27-year-old Brazilian hiker who fell into a 600-meter-deep ravine last month.
Emmenegger and Van Hulten are the third and fourth foreign tourists to suffer serious accidents on Mount Rinjani in the past month, raising growing concerns about safety on Indonesia’s second-highest volcano.
Brazilian netizens have questioned the competence of the rescue teams and criticized what they saw as a lack of proper equipment to carry out the operation. Some went as far as to claim that Marins did not die from the fall itself, but as a result of the delayed rescue efforts.
The body of Boaz Bar Anan, a 37-year-old Portuguese national who died from a fall on the Mount Rinjani in Lombok Island, West Nusa Tenggara (NTB), is scheduled to be returned on Friday to his country of origin, Israel, for burial.
