Carstensz East, Mountain summit in Lorentz National Park, Indonesia
Carstensz East reaches an elevation of 4,820 meters and features limestone cliffs with a small glacier near the eastern ridge point.
The peak received its name from Dutch sailor Jan Carstensz, who first documented the snow-covered mountains of Papua in 1623.
The mountain holds spiritual significance for local Amungme people, who consider these peaks as the residence of their ancestral spirits.
Climbing permits, local guides, and technical climbing equipment are required for any expedition attempting to reach the summit.
This summit contains the last remaining glacier formations in Indonesia, which scientists predict will disappear within the next decade.
