		A group of climbers attempt to ascend the highest mountain in Australasia: the Carstensz Pyramid in the Indonesian Province of Irian Jaya.
		The highest mountain in Australasia, and therefore one of the ‘Seven Summits’, is the Carstensz Pyramid (4884 metres) on the island of New Guinea.
		Named after the Dutch explorer Jan Carstensz it rises from one of the world’s largest rain forests, and is perhaps one of the most mysterious and least visited of the Seven Summits.

	Indonesia Report: Puncak Jaya
		The summit of Puncak Jaya ('Victory Peak') as it is called in Indonesia, better known as Carstensz Pyramid among climbers, stands at 4.884m and is located in the western central highlands of Irian Jaya at a latitude of 4° S. It is the highest peak in Oceana, or the Australasia continent, and in Indonesia.
		It is also known as Mount Carstensz, named after Jan Carstensz, the Dutch explorer who first saw the mountain and the glaciers from the coast in 1623.
		However the continuing retreat of the glaciers, more than 2 km for the Carstensz and more than 3 km for the Meren Glacier during an observation period between 1850 and 1972, indicates a warming of the regional air temperature by 0.6°C per century.

	Puncak Jaya
		Puncak Jaya, sometimes called Mount Carstensz or the Carstensz Pyramid, is the highest mountain on the island of New Guinea, on the greater Australian continent and in Oceania.
		Although the snowfield of Puncak Jaya was reached as early as 1909 by a Dutch explorer, Hendrik A. Lorentz, the peak was not climbed until 1962, by an expedition led by the Austrian mountaineer Heinrich Harrer (of Seven Years in Tibet fame) with three friends — Temple, Kippax and Huizenga.
		Landsat image of Puncak Jaya and surroundingsWhile Puncak Jaya’s peak is free of glaciers, there are several on its slopes, including the Carstensz Glacier, the Meren Glacier, and Northwall Firn.

		Meanwhile Lorentz, his fellow-expeditioner Jan van Nouhuys and some of the Dayak carriers reached the snow but not the peak of Mount Wilhelmina.
		A later British expedition, led by Alexander Wollaston, reached the snow of Carstensz in 1913, and in that same year a Dutch expedition, led by an army captain, A. Franssen Henderschee, reached the summit of Mount Wilhelmina.
		The landscape of the interior was fascinating enough — glaciers and snow-covered mountains; the people the climbers came across were probably even more tempting to the expedition photographers — different to the communities of the coastal plains — less well-nourished, shorter.

		Australia is thought to have been inhabited for at least 50,000 years, since the remote ancestors of the current Australian Aborigines arrived from present-day Southeast Asia.
		The land was not discovered by Europeans until the 17th century, when it was sighted and visited by several expeditions: the Spanish Luis Vaez de Torres (1606) and the Dutch explorers Willem Jansz (1606), Jan Carstensz (1623), Dirk Hartog and Abel Tasman.
		The first English explorers were Willem Dampier in 1688 and James Cook, who in 1770 claimed the eastern two-thirds of the continent for Britain, despite orders from King George III to first conclude a treaty with the indigenous population.

	Skiing the Pacific Ring of Fire and Beyond: Puncak Jaya
		The existence of glaciers in New Guinea was first recorded by the Dutch navigator Jan Carstensz in 1623, who saw them from the coast over 50 miles (80 km) to the south.
		These glaciers are all receding due to the effects of the warming climate, and the small ice cap previously found on a fourth summit in New Guinea, Puncak Trikora (Wilhelmina Top), had disappeared by about 1960.
		The highest skiable point in the Puncak Jaya massif is Ngga Pulu, located at the head of the Meren Glacier at 15950 ft (4862 m), while the summit block of Carstensz Pyramid is bare rock for over 1000 ft (300 m) above the toe of the Carstensz Glacier.
