Tropical Glaciers: Mt Kilimanjaro, Tanzania: This 19,000 ft volcanic peak is located in Northern Tanzania, near the border with Kenya. The mountain's ice cap and small glacier features, visible here, are the subject of intense investigation and measurement by glaciologists and climatologists. It is estimated that 85% of the ice mass has been lost since 1912 and that it may all but vanish in another 15 years.
