Carstensz Pyramid, Papua


Mysterious region hidden in the jungles of Papua. With a height of 4884 masl, Carstensz Pyramid Peak is the highest point on the continent of Australasia. Although Papua into Indonesia region (Southeast Asia), but the mainland Papua is still one with the Australia continental plates that can shift the Carstensz Pyramid Kosciuszko (2228 meters above sea level) of the Seven Summits list representing the continent of Australia. This is because the seven continents Seven Summits divided based on the theory of continental plates that combine Papua, Pacific Islands, and Australia as a continent, the continent of Australasia.

Carstensz Pyramid was first climbed by Heinrich Harrer who wrote the book "I Come From The Stone Age" of the story of his trip to Papua. Carstensz is technically difficult mountain of the Seven Summits. Only a few hundred people have ever climbed Carstensz due to unstable political conditions, and because it was hidden in the jungle. Be prepared to climb in the snow, rain, with a torn glove due to the sharp rocks.
