To reach the artifact, jump to the first island, then the second. You must move quickly so Lara isn't standing on the stepping stones when they sink into the pool of lava.
When you reach the second stone, turn left and quickly jump onto a rock that you previously couldn't see because it was hidden behind the lava falls. From there, jump to the ledge that runs along behind the falls.
If you find it difficult to reorient the camera and turn quickly enough to make the jump from the second stone to the one behind the falls, instead jump across the first two stones to grab the lower handhold on the wall ahead (as though you were taking the path that skips the artifact, shown in the first screenshot above). Then jump up to the higher handhold. From there, jump back to land on the rock that you couldn't see earlier and quickly jump onto the ledge that runs behind the falls.
Head toward the back wall and then to the left to find ARTIFACT #3. Pick it up and return to the opening next to the falls.
By now, the rock islands should have risen up from the lava pool again, and you can jump across the nearest two to reach the handhold on the wall ahead.
