Photos from the top of Africa!

Photos from Kilimanjaro

I hope you enjoy these photos, just a few of my experience on top of the world, the glaciers are truly incredible, however they are melting quickly.
The select few that made it! We were exhausted and exhilarated all at the same time.

The area that we were walking was completely covered in glaciers 10 years ago according to our guides, now its just scree and hard dirt. In fact, many are guessing that by the year 2015, the glacier will be gone. Not only is that a beautiful image that I'd hate for you to miss seeing for yourselves, but it is terrible for everyone living on, below and near the mountain as the mountain is their water source. What does that mean for them?


Regardless of the future, it was so beautiful to see for miles, what a view! Worth every minute!
