Asia’s last tropical glaciers, Indonesia’s ‘eternal snow’ may disappear by 2027

Jakarta : Indonesia’s “eternal snow,” Asia’s last two tropical glaciers, are projected to disappear by 2027, the country’s meteorology agency said on Tuesday, as global warming has dramatically accelerated ice melt. Perched on Puncak Jaya, a mountain surrounded by dense rainforests in Indonesia’s easternmost province of Papua, the Carstenz Glacier and the East Northwall Fin are remnants of the last Ice Age and have existed for around 5,000 years.
