I thought Puncak Jaya was 5030m tinggi, or is this wrong?

According to CIA factbook, Puncak Jaya is 5030 metres, but according to wikipedia, it is 4884 metres tall, which one is correct?

years years ago when I lived in Bandung, I experienced hale a couple of times- hujan es- that's the closest thing to snow we have ever experienced down there. I wonder if it is still like that right now, because nowadays Bandung's temperature is not as cool as before because it has grown a lot, like the Sundanese prophecy: Bandung heurin ku tangtung! Bandung (akan) penuh sesak.

An exotic place indeed, although the place looks a bit scary.
By the way, I've got a picture of an igloo built by the native Puncak Jayans.  A native Puncak Jayan's igloo. |

wow. very nice pictures indeed. beautiful place it is.
but did it just started to snow there? if yes, this is quite weird/bad. the icecap of kilimanjaro melted last year and then now snow appears in puncakjaya. |

BTW there are three peaks in papua province (puncak jaya, puncak trikora, and puncak mandala) that have permanent icecaps.. This post has been edited by purnomor: Jan 15 2006, 09:50 AM |

LOL. Afif's at it again!
I always thought that Puncak Jaya was SEA's tallest peak, and not Kinabalu. Maybe there could be an official ASEAN petition on this matter to give the title to its rightful Indonesian owner. |

LOL at afif Actually the tallest peak in SE Asia is the Hkakabo Razi (5880 m) in the Myanmarese portion of Himalayan Mountains. Hkakabo Razi is nearly 2kms taller than Kinabalu and 800 m taller than Puncak Jaya. However, since Indonesian West Papuan province is considered geographically part of Oceania, Puncak Jaya at 5030 m is the tallest mountain in the Oceania/Australasian region. |
