印度尼西亚巴布亚地区的苏迪曼山脉上存在数百年的热带冰川正在迅速消融，预计将在一两年内完全消失1。这片冰川距赤道仅450公里，是安第斯山脉和喜马拉雅山脉之间仅存的热带冰1。自19世纪以来，冰川覆盖面积已从近1900公顷急剧萎缩至约16公顷，其中从2000年代初至2025年间退缩了95%1。
这一变化对当地多个土著民族造成了深远的精神和文化打击。阿蒙格梅人将这座山称为"白箭"（Nemangkawi），视其为诚实、纯洁和道德完整的象征1。当地居民阿多尔菲娜·库姆用宗教圣地来比喻其文化意义，她表示："对于阿蒙格梅人来说，感觉就像麦加或梵蒂冈被摧毁了"1。研究人士玛丽·沙巴茨卡指出："这里存在深刻的不公正"1。
Indonesia's Puncak Jaya glacier, located on the Sudirman Range in Papua just 450 kilometers from the equator, stands as the sole remaining tropical ice between the Andes and Himalayas—and it is rapidly vanishing.1 The ice field has shrunk dramatically from nearly 1,900 hectares (4,700 acres) in the nineteenth century to approximately 16 hectares (40 acres) today, with scientists projecting its complete disappearance within one to two years.1 Between the early 2000s and 2025, the glacier lost 95 percent of its surface area.1
The disappearance carries profound spiritual and cultural consequences for the indigenous Amungme people, who revere the mountain as "Nemangkawi," or "white arrow," a symbol of honesty, purity, and moral integrity.1 Adolfina Kum, an Amungme representative, expressed the magnitude of the loss by stating: "For the Amungme people, it feels like Mecca or the Vatican being destroyed."1 Marie Šabacká observed: "There exists a profound injustice here."1 The warming climate driving the glacier's retreat represents not merely an environmental shift but a cultural catastrophe for communities whose identities are inextricably linked to this now-vanishing landscape.
