Mount Giluwe (4368m) is a shield volcano in Papua New Guinea, Papua New Guinea. Grade 2/5: moderate trek requiring good physical fitness. Its broad shield form reflects effusive volcanic activity over geological time. Well-marked paths and reasonable gradients make it achievable for fit hikers.
The topographic contour map of Mount Giluwe (4368m) shows widely spaced, gently curving contours reflecting broad, low-angle slopes. Contour lines are drawn at 100m intervals, with index contours (thicker lines) every 500m. The hypsometric color scale ranges from green (lower elevations) through yellow and orange to white (highest elevations near the 4,368m summit).

Frequently Asked Questions
The contour map uses a hypsometric color scale where green represents lower elevations, yellow and orange indicate mid-range altitudes, and white marks the highest zones near the summit. Thicker contour lines (index contours) are drawn at wider intervals to help you quickly estimate elevation.
The contour map of Mount Giluwe (4368m) uses a 100m contour interval. This means each line represents a 100m change in elevation. Closely spaced contours indicate steeper terrain, while widely spaced contours show gentler slopes.
The elevation profile is a cross-section through Mount Giluwe (4368m) from west to east, passing through the summit at 4,368m. It reveals the mountain's shape, steepness, and relative height compared to the surrounding terrain. The horizontal axis shows distance in kilometers from the peak.
Mount Giluwe (4368m) is a shield volcano, built almost entirely from fluid lava flows. The contour map shows widely spaced lines, reflecting slopes that rarely exceed 5–10 degrees — much gentler than a stratovolcano.
