Africa's glaciers gone by 2020.

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 17:56:37 +0000

Fabled equatorial icecaps will disappear within two decades,because of global warming! Africa is home to three large ice mountains : the two ice volcanoes of Mount Kenya and Kilimanjaro, and the Rwenzori mountains chain at the border between the Democratic Republic of Congo and the Republic of Uganda. A few thousand years ago,these glaciers stretched several hundred km2. Now, the ice cap has been fastly melting for decades. It is estimated that they cover today barely 5 km2 of the African continent! The fantastic ice crown described by Hans Meyer conqueror of the Kilimandjaro, "Roof of Africa" in 1889 is reduced to less than 2 km2 today. Mount Kenya reduced to less than 0.4 km2. And the glaciers of Ruwenzori represent just 1 km2 in 2005 and also could disappear by 2020.
