Snow Cap Melting Away Atop Mount Kilimanjaro

HeadlineNov 03, 2009

In other climate news, a new report has found that the snow and ice capping Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa’s tallest peak, is shrinking rapidly and could vanish altogether in twenty years. Eighty-five percent of the ice cover that was present in 1912 has already melted. Meanwhile, the nation of Nepal has announced it will soon hold a cabinet meeting on Mount Everest to highlight how global warming is causing glaciers to melt in the Himalayas.
