Many of the Dendrosenecio keniensis plants seen here are 30 feet tall. See the people on the trail for perspective. This amazing species is usually found above 9,500 feet. Photographed near Baranco Camp 3 at 13,000 feet on Mount Kilimanjaro, December 8, 2007.

Hasn't voted | I have heard of the book but I didn't know that Hemmingway actually set foot on the mountain. I guess I should do some more reading. Thanks! | | Posted Jan 21, 2009 8:55 am |
