The Jayawijaya Mountain, West-Papua

Thursday, February 28, 2013

This peak is a mountain peak because the peak is quite unique because it was covered by eternal snow. Eternal snow on Peak Jayawijaya is one of three snow fields in the tropics that are in the world.

In Indonesia is traversed by the equator, would be impossible and difficult to understand if there is snow in this country.




Carstensz Pyramid is one of the snowy peaks. The highest peak in South East Asia and the Pacific, located in the Sudirman Mountains series. The peak is also listed as one of the 7 Summits continent (seven summit) was phenomenal and a coveted mountain climbers in the world. Jayawijaya Peak is located in the National Park Laurentz, Papua.

But the unfortunate, permafrost is expected to shrink, even drying. In a number of studies concluded that the deposits of ice in these mountains from year to year a serious shrinkage. Depreciation is at result from global warming. so it is not impossible that one day these mountains will lose the snow as it does on Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania.
