This list of highest mountains of New Guinea shows all mountains on the island of New Guinea that are at least {{Convert|3750|m|abbr=on}} high and have a topographic prominence of {{Convert|500|m|abbr=on}} or more. These {{circa}} 50 peaks are also the highest mountains of Australasia and the continent of Australia, where, outside New Guinea, the highest mountain is Aoraki / Mount Cook in New Zealand with a height of {{Convert|3724|m|abbr=on}}.Aoraki was {{Convert|3764|m|abbr=on}} high until 14 December 1991, when a massive rock/ice collapse broke off {{Convert|10|m|abbr=on}}. Subsequent erosion of the exposed ice cap reduced its height by a further {{Convert|30|m|abbr=on}} as of November 2013. {{Cite web |last=University of Otago |author-link=University of Otago |date=16 January 2014 |title=Otago-led study revises height of Aoraki/Mt Cook |url=https://www.otago.ac.nz/news/news/otago062651.html |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230617211230/https://www.otago.ac.nz/news/news/otago062651.html |archive-date=17 June 2023 |access-date=17 June 2023}} A list of highest mountains of Oceania with the same limitations is almost identical, with the addition of the Hawaiian volcanoes of Mauna Kea ({{Convert|4205|m|abbr=on|disp=semicolon}}) and Mauna Loa ({{Convert|4169|m|abbr=on|disp=semicolon}}) in 18th and 20th positions. The list also shows the 36 highest thus defined mountains of Indonesia, except for the {{Convert|3805|m|4=-high|abbr=on|adj=mid}} Gunung Kerinci on Sumatra (#29 in Indonesia), and the 16 highest mountains of Papua New Guinea.

Limited topographical data

Many mountains in New Guinea are poorly surveyed and some major summits remain unnamed on maps.

Even well measured mountains have conflicting heights on otherwise authoritative maps. For example, the highest point in Oceania, Carstensz Pyramid, was established to be {{Convert|4884|m|abbr=on}} in 1973 when an Australian survey expedition put a beacon on the summit. This corresponded closely to the {{Convert|4866|m|abbr=on}} estimate by the first Lorentsz Expedition in 1910 using repeated theodolite observations from the south coast. However, over time the mountain had grown in stature: measurements from northern observation peaks for the highest summit (each time Ngga Pulu) were {{Convert|5000|m|abbr=on|sigfig=5}} in 1910 by Ludolph Doorman and {{Convert|5030|m|abbr=on|sigfig=5}} in 1926 by Charles C.F.M. Le Roux.{{Cite book |last=Le Roux |first=Charles C.F.M. |url=http://www.papuaerfgoed.org/files/Le_Roux(I)_1948_Bergpapoea.pdf |title=De Bergpapoea's Van Niew-Guinea En Hun Woongebied I |publisher=E.

After ascending the Pyramid in 1962, Heinrich Harrer even estimated that peak to be 17,096 feet or 5211 m high.Heinrich Harrer's [http://7summits.com/pix/carstensz/pix/hhcarmapnorm7s.gif sketch map] from Ich komme aus der Steinzeit. Pinguin, Innsbruck 1976, {{ISBN|3-524-00331-1}}. The 1973 survey established that the 1936 barometric estimates were consistently between {{Convert|118 and 127|m|abbr=on}} too high. Nevertheless, the {{Convert|5030|m|abbr=on|sigfig=5}} height is still prevalent in most atlases and maps.Edward G. Anderson, [http://www.papuaweb.org/dlib/bk/hope1976/02.pdf Topographic survey and cartography], in Hope, Geoff S, et al (Editors) 1976, [http://www.papuaweb.org/dlib/bk/hope1976/ The Equatorial Glaciers of New Guinea] (Results of the 1971-1973 Australian Universities' Expeditions to Irian Jaya: survey, glaciology, meteorology, biology and palaeoenvironments), Rotterdam: A.A.

Disappearing and disappeared glaciers of the Snowy Mountains

All mountains in West Papua are in the Maoke Mountains, a translation of the name “Sneeuwgebergte” or Snowy Mountains endowed to them in 1623 by Jan Carstensz, at which time many of the peaks indeed were covered by extensive ice caps. By the beginning of the 20th century, at least five such glaciated regions remained on the highest mountains. In 1913, the {{Convert|4520-4550|m|abbr=on|adj=on}} high Prins Hendrik-top (now Puncak Yamin) was named and reported to have some "eternal" snow.E.J. Brill, Tijdschrift van het Koninklijk Nederlandsch Aardrijkskundig Genootschap, 1913, p. 180. The ice cap of Wilhelmina Peaks vanished between 1939 and 1963, while the Mandala / Juliana ice cap disappeared in the 1990s.{{Cite journal |last=Klein |first=Andrew G. |last2=Kincaid |first2=Joni L. |date=January 2008 |title=On the disappearance of the Puncak Mandala ice cap, Papua |url=https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/journal-of-glaciology/article/on-the-disappearance-of-the-puncak-mandala-ice-cap-papua/516705C4BC4A2348DEC9570C42BC66B7 |journal=Journal of Glaciology |language=en |volume=54 |issue=184 |pages=195–198 |doi=10.3189/S0022143000209994 |issn=0022-1430}} The Idenburg glacier on Ngga Pilimsit dried up in 2003, leaving currently only the remnants of the glaciers on Mount Carstensz, the last of which are expected to disappear before 2025{{Cite journal |last=Klein |first=Andrew G. |last2=Kincaid |first2=Joni L. |date=17 September 2017 |orig-date=2006 |title=Retreat of glaciers on Puncak Jaya, Irian Jaya, determined from 2000 and 2002 IKONOS satellite images |url=https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/journal-of-glaciology/article/retreat-of-glaciers-on-puncak-jaya-irian-jaya-determined-from-2000-and-2002-ikonos-satellite-images/5106CC4B3B1799DF722FAB5D59F984F7 |journal=Journal of Glaciology |language=en |volume=52 |issue=176 |pages=65–79 |doi=10.3189/172756506781828818 |issn=0022-1430|hdl=1969.1/182340 |hdl-access=free }} and perhaps much earlier.{{cite news|last=McDowell |first=Robin |title=Indonesia’s Last Glacier Will Melt ‘Within Years’ |url=http://www.thejakartaglobe.com/home/indonesias-last-glacier-will-melt-within-years/383607 |accessdate=2011-10-23 |newspaper=Jakarta Globe |date=July 1, 2010 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110816134134/http://www.thejakartaglobe.com/home/indonesias-last-glacier-will-melt-within-years/383607 |archivedate=August 16, 2011 }} The snow melt on the last mountain has caused a change of the highest summit of New Guinea: somewhere between 1936 and 1973 the title of highest summit of Oceania changed from Ngga Pulu, the highest point of the Northwall Firn (by then split into the West and East Northwall Firn; only small patches of the latter still exist), to the rocky spires of Carstensz Pyramid {{Convert|3|km|abbr=on}} to its south-west.Anderson, p. 22, and Jean Jacques Dozy, [http://www.angewandte-geologie.ch/Dokumente/Archiv/Vol71/7_1Dozy-Erz.pdf Vom höchsten Gipfel bis in die tiefste Grube.] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120402183406/http://www.angewandte-geologie.ch/Dokumente/Archiv/Vol71/7_1Dozy-Erz.pdf |date=2012-04-02 }}, Bull. angew.
