The only Mount Snow in Indonesia - Mount Jayawijaya

The only Mount Snow in Indonesia - Mount Jayawijaya

Indeed, Indonesia is located on the equator line does have a tropical climate all time so it does not allow for snow in the region. But the wonder of nature often appears in Indonesia.If you think that in the tropics will not find snow-capped mountains, you can rectify these assumptions after visiting Jayawijaya Peak, the highest peak in the Alps Sudirman (Sudirman Range) in the province of Papua. Puncak Jayawijaya or shorter called Puncak Jaya, had reached a height of + 4.884 meters above sea level (asl), thus allowing the area is covered by snow abadi.1. Jayawijaya mountain known as one of the world's seven highest peaks (seven summits). Therefore, peak climbing as high as 4,884 meters above sea level is the ideals of true climbers, let alone climb to Puncak Jaya is the subjugation of the snow-covered mountain. The obstacles are presented in the ascent, such as steep natural conditions, extremely cold temperatures, strong winds and rain, and the lack of oxygen at high altitude is a challenge that must be conquered by the climbers.
