Indonesia's disappearing glaciers
from Sunday Extra - Separate stories podcast Hosted by Australian Broadcasting Corporation
Indonesia is home to two of the world's last surviving tropical glaciers, which are found near the top of a 4882 metre mountain in Papua Province. The glaciers used to cover much of the Surdiman mountain range but they're disappearing rapidly and predictions for when they will finally disappear range from 2026 to 2030. Dr Donaldi Permana is a climate research scientist and has made a number of expeditions to study the glaciers. He is hoping to make a visit in November this year.
