Peaky Kilimanjaro
20/02/11

Looking south at Kilimanjaro from the Kenyan side. This picture was taken in mid-February, after 3 straight days of wet weather hit the area. It’s a pretty unusual sight to see Kilimanjaro with this thick a layer of snow, and also reaching quite low on the flanks. This kind of snow may last at least a couple of weeks before it has mostly melted away, and at most (depending on the regularity of the precipitation) about 6-8 weeks.  This has made climbing Kilimanjaro difficult and very cold and an added challenge.
