Civilopedia entry[]
An odd sight looms over the African savannah: glaciers. Kilimanjaro, the continent’s tallest mountain located in Tanzania, is one of the most topographically prominent peaks in the world. The snow that collects at its crown was known to ancient geographers – Herodotus wrote about the snow-fed Nile, and Ptolemy about the “mountain of the moon” (though it is difficult to distinguish between Kilimanjaro, Mount Kenya, speculation, and complete fantasy in these writings). In local folklore, the site is also the subject of tales of deities and divine animals, a place where only the brave go.
The mountain is a volcano that still has active fumaroles on its peak. Nonetheless, glaciers and ice dominate the very top of the mountain, aided by the fact that its flattened peak does not readily permit ice to slide downward. Still, this ice is fast disappearing; Kilimanjaro will be bare at its top within just a few decades, a testament to our alteration of the atmosphere.
Trivia[]
- Mount Kilimanjaro's quote comes from the 1936 short story The Snows of Kilimanjaro by American novelist Ernest Hemingway.
