The Ice-capped Jungle: Irian Jaya, or West Papua, is one of the last great wilderness areas of the world. It has the contradction of tropical ice - glaciated mountains 3 degrees South of the Equator. Among these is Carstensz Pyramid, the highest peak between the Andes, Africa and the Himalaya

Filming a Damal mummy
For our documentary we film a Damal headman and his mummified father who had been dead for 20 years.

Below Nga Pulu
Lincoln, Sue and Rini below the awesome North Face of Nga Pulu, Irian Jaya's second highest peak.

Carstensz Pyramid
The East Carstensz Glacier and the pyramid itself. Our route cut across from the ice to follow the lefthand skyline.

Lincoln, Rini, Chris and Sue winging it.
Part of a wing, debris from a plane that crashed into Nga Pulu at the end of the Second World War, 60 years ago.

Rini crosses an organic bridge.
Built entirely from materials from the surrounding jungle, we wished that all our river crossings could have been as easy as using this bridge.

Rini and her koteka-wearing friends
At our first campsite in a jungle clearing, Rini poses with Dani carriers, who find that kotekas are most practical form of clothing in this climate of constant rain.
