Talk:List of ultras of Oceania

Page contents not supported in other languages.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

New guinea is an island that, according to continental shelves is part of the Australian continent. Half of the island (including Puncak Jaya/Carstensz) is part of Indonesia wheras the other half is Papua New Guinea. I think it is misleading to have a list of Ultras in Oceania without including Puncak Jaya which is widely regarded as the highest mountain in Oceana. I have therefore copied the entry for Papua into on the list of Ultras in indonesia to the list of ultras in indonesia as geographically they are part of oceania. ----GreatestrowereverTalk Page 19:06, 5 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Good idea; my only rationale was to have the continents boundaries done politically rather than geographically. Mark J (talk) 20:38, 5 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Indian Ocean

[edit]

I've removed the list of southern Indian Ocean islands from the page (and affixes it below). This isn't part of Oceania - both islands would notmally be considered subantarctic and listed with Antarctica. Grutness...wha? 00:32, 24 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I restore these. They are not listed in Africa, Antarctica or anywhere else and Southern Indian Ocean is mentioned in Ultra-prominent peak as listed in Oceania list. They have to be moved if they shall not be here, not deleted.--BIL (talk) 21:36, 16 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

There are two ultra-prominent summits in the Southern Indian Ocean.
