List of highest mountains of New Guinea

For example, the highest point in Oceania, Carstensz Pyramid, was established to be 4,884 m (16,024 ft) in 1973 when an Australian survey expedition put a beacon on the summit.

This corresponded closely to the 4,866 m (15,965 ft) estimate by the first Lorentsz Expedition in 1910 using repeated theodolite observations from the south coast.

[2] The 1936 Carstensz Expedition using barometric and boiling point measurements on the summit of Ngga Pulu also derived an elevation of 5,030 m (16,503 ft).

In 1913, the 4,520–4,550 m (14,830–14,930 ft) high Prins Hendrik-top (now Puncak Yamin) was named and reported to have some "eternal" snow.
