3532. The highest mountain peak of Oceania is

A. Mt. Victoria, Papua New Guinea
B. Mt. Kosciusko, Australia
C. Mt. Cook, South Island (New Zealand)
D. Puncak Jaya, Indonesia.
✅ The correct answer is option D.
It is also the highest point between the Himalayas and the Andes. Some sources claim Papua New Guinea’s Mount Wilhelm, 4,509 m (14,793 ft), as the highest mountain peak in Oceania, on account of Indonesia being part of Asia (Southeast Asia). The massive, open cut Grasberg mine is within 4 km (2.5 mi) of Puncak Jaya.
