Indonesia's Puncak Jaya glaciers are projected to vanish entirely by late 2026 or early 2027 due to severe climate change.

The Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysical Agency (BMKG) issued this warning. Rising global temperatures continue to rapidly accelerate the melting of this rare tropical ice.

This irreversible loss marks a tragic environmental milestone, highlighting the urgent reality of the climate crisis impacting the nation's natural heritage.
