However, the young woman, identified by her family in Brazil as has not yet been evacuated due to the injured ground and bad weather in the region.
In a statement, the Asian country’s search and rescue team explained that the young woman was found “through thermal images with a drone”, about 500 meters from the point where she fell, while trying to reach the summit of the volcano, located about 1,200 kilometers of jakarta. “According to the drone’s remarks, the victim was not moved. We are limited to the extreme terrain and the fog around the incident site,” added the statement from local authorities, who will send a helicopter on Tuesday to remove the Brazilian.
Dozens of people participate in the search operation, which was suspended at least once due to bad weather and rugged terrain. Rescuers work with the aid of air surveillance drones, communication devices and medical equipment, among other tools. On Sunday, Brazil’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement stating that its Jakarta embassy “mobilized local authorities at the highest level” for this operation.
Itamaraty also indicated that two embassy employees traveled to the scene “to personally follow the rescue efforts.” Rinjani is an active volcano, the second highest in Indonesia, but has not erupted since 2016, which has attracted numerous international tourists every year.
