Northern Ice Field, Kilimanjaro

Northern Ice Field, Kilimanjaro

The Northen Ice Field on Kilimanjaro just before daybreak. A heavier than normal snow fall in December & January and early morning alpenglow created a very scenic setting in the summit crater. Photo taken from the summit ridge on February 14, 2007.

Re: Beautiful

Thanks! The glaciers atop Kilimanjaro are quite stunning. It will be a great loss when they ultimately disappear.

Re: Impressive.....

Thanks very much for your comments and vote. It was a beautiful moment, with the sunrise on one side of the ridge and the glaciers on the other.
