The first European to succeed in entering the highlands of central New Guinea was Richard Thurnwald, a member of the Kaiserin-Augusta-Fluss Expedition of 1912-13. He arrived at the source basin of the Sepik River (in the Telefomin vicinity) on 19 September 1914. It was either Richard Thurnwald or Walter Behrmann, the expedition geographer, who named the high mountains south of the source basin of the Sepik, the Hindenburg Range.
