Ngga Pulu
Ngga Pulu is a summmit on the north rim of Mount Carstensz in the western part of the island of New Guinea rising 4862 meters (15,951 ft). Trigonometric measurements showed that Ngga Pulu was (and had been for many centuries before) the highest mountain of New Guinea and also the highest summit of the Australia/Oceania continent. The elevation of Ngga Pulu in 1936 was about 4907m (16,100ft), and it was the highest and most prominent peak between the Himalaya and the Andes. But due to glacial melting, Ngga Pulu lost a lot of elevation in the 20th century. ==Name== Ngga Pulu is the only summit of Mount Carstensz with a regular indigenous name. Sumantri and the current summit used to be called the NW and SE peaks of Ngga Pulu. Heinrich Harrer labeled the NW peak Ngapalu on (his map drawn in 1962 ), while calling the SE Peak (the current Ngga Pulu) ''Sunday Peak''. When Indonesia took control of Western New Guinea in 1963, the peaks were known as 'Puntjak Soekarno' and 'Puncak Jaya' until the Carstensz Pyramid was established as the highest summit. Sometimes after 1973 the NW summit was renamed to Sumantri, in honor of the recently deceased Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources.
