Mount Kilimanjaro - No longer the same!

Mount Kilimanjaro's summit 19,341ft is known to be a dormant stratovolcano found in Tanzania. Unfortunately, the glacier had been developing a hole since the Seventies where the Mountain is bound to be divided into two parts. Ahead of all, the ice of Kilimanjaro is estimated to disappear completely by the year 2060. Researchers and geologists have advanced that the rising air temperatures due to global warming could be the major cause of ice loss among the other numerous factors. Scientific experts have also noticed that drier air is also reducing cloud cover and allowing more solar energy to warm the ice surfaces...
