In 16 February 1623, Jan Carstensz, captain of a small boat from the Netherlands that was sailing in southern Papua, saw a very high mountain range in West Papua hinterland and some of its parts covered with snow through his binocular. Jan became the first European who saw that mountain range.  He described its location that close to the Equator at a distance of approximately 10 mile inside the hinterland.
