New Guinea's Highest
MOUNT CHIMBU, which is believed to be the highest peak in the Man dated Territory of New Guinea, has been climbed by an Administration patrol, led by Patrol Officer Vial.
During the ascent a series of heavy snowfalls impeded the climbers.
Vial’s observations give the height as 14,905 feet.
