Well, technically, the Kilimanjaro is a massif too. The Kibo is the highest point. Even Wikipedia doesn't list a peak called "Kilimanjaro".

Is Hawaii in Oceania? Isn't Oceania the Pacific below the equator?
Djilas

Level 82
Oct 21, 2018
It is in Oceania. There's nothing about equator in the definition, surely all the little pacific islands are included? Or to quote Wikipedia: "The islands at the geographic extremes of Oceania are Bonin Islands, a politically integral part of Japan; Hawaii, a state of the United States; Clipperton Island, a possession of France; the Juan Fernández Islands, belonging to Chile; and the Campbell Islands, belonging to New Zealand. "

Hawaii is part of Polynesia and is now considered in one of the four regions of Oceania, but politically it is part of the US and I've also seen it included with North America. It depends on which source you check. When I was in school decades ago it wasn't considered part of any continent, and some still have that point of view today. So, take your pick.

Papua New Guinea is part of Oceania, but Oceania is not a continent, it is a world region. Only Australia is counted as a continent and thus the answer should be Mt Kosciuszko, not Mt Wilhelm.

The header simply asks "Biggest land masses in Oceania". It has nothing to do with whether Oceania is a continent or not, so I'm not sure why akp713 is trying to debate that.

But actually the highest mountain on New Guinea isn't Mt. Wilhelm, but Puncak Jaya. Over 300m higher. And it is still part of the Oceania

On all of JetPunk's featured quizzes, Oceania includes Papua New Guinea but not the Indonesian portion of New Guinea. Does it make sense? No. But continent boundaries don't always make sense.

OK, I understand the logic now. But still think there should be consistency with the Seven Summits quiz (and, before anyone tells me, I do realise that those aren't consistently listed outside of this site).

Mt Wilhelm threw me completely and, judging by the stats, most others too.

you should just accept all three versions because i have seen many who say highest mount in Oceania is puncak jaya, wilhelm or kosciuzko

So the island of New Guinea is half in Oceania and half in Asia? An island on two different continents? I like the cut of your jib.

If I were being stubborn about this I would explain (yet again) the many reasons Oceania is NOT a continent. But I fear it would fall on deaf ears. So I suggest a compromise whereby Puncak Jaya, Kosciuszko and Mt Wilhelm (which I'm pretty sure appears on no Seven Summits lists) are all accepted as type-ins. Otherwise we are bogged down in semantics.

I had the same thought, I never even thought to try Mt. Wilhelm.

Yes, the answer should be Kosciuszko for Australia.

Even the previous quiz in this series, which includes the continents as a "group of 7" doesn't list Oceania as a continent.

I'd agree the continent is definitely Australia, not Oceania, but I'd argue the answer is Puncak Jaya. New Guinea sits on the Australian continental plate and is closer to the Australian Mainland than Tasmania. I think it is clearly part of the Australian continent.

Ahmmm - NO! The continent of Australia is the land mass of Australia. In no book, list, category or view is Papua New Guinea considered part of the continent of Australia.

Per se. (Nothing to do with saying, but "se" ;the reflexive pronoun in latin. All romance language have it or something similar, germanic language too, (zich, sich, sig), but in english closest is "self" but usually used as itself, oneself. While german and dutch (not sure about scandinavian) have a separate form of self (selbst, zelf), besides the reflexive pronoun )

The How to Play note about Oceania and Indonesia I assume was to clarify the tallest mountain question. But it confuses things for the largest land masses in Oceania question. The note says Oceania includes no part of Indonesia, but one of the answers, New Guinea, includes part of Indonesia.

In the Highest Point section, Oceania is technically not a continent, so you should clarify/change that.

If you actually do mean 'continent' (ie: Australia), the answer should be Mount Kosciuszko.

you cant just say "technically a continent" Oceania is by most people. Saying technically means that there could be 4 continents total.

You should definitely accept Puncak Jaya or Mount Kosciuszko. If you say continent you should probably stick to the continental landmass of Australia and the answer would be Mount Kosciuszko. If for some reason you want to include Papua New Guinea and Mount Wilhelm than you should definitely include Puncak Jaya. The question refers to continents which should in no way be determined by political geography.

Mont Blanc should also be valid for highest mountain in Europe. It depends where you set the border of Europe and Asia.
