[@galacticgk]

Surprised and saddened at the same time.. I was surprised when I heard mt Kenya have icebergs and snow ,before that I thought mt.kilimanjaro was the only mountain in Africa which have ice, Meanwhile it's sad to see this beauty being diminished...

[@NYONAMATENDE]

Ruwenzori mountains in Uganda has ice too and is very beautiful as well.

[@galacticgk]

Amazingly beautiful, God is so Awesome!!!

[@DavidMwangi]

Nice to hear someone who traveled to Africa at last, I always wondered how it would feel like traveling to Africa, how was the experience? I mean, I have heard so much about Africa! Which airport did his plane land on? Africa Intl' Airport? C'mmon NYT, you could just be as right if you said "Kenya" instead of "Africa". Is that too much to ask for?

[@areeba9061]

[@tallybance]

Wow i never knew Kenya had such amazing places

[@itgamingke]

We have one of the most beautiful landscapes you could ever see with your eyes. Every region has a different weather pattern from North, Central, Western, Rift Valley and the Coast parts

[@marehemudanielarapmoi6424]

Some Kenyans think that the loss of these glaciers means just lost beauty or lost ecosystem. However more than 100 small towns and almost a dozen large towns are fully reliant on water from these very glaciers. This is where most of the rivers in Laikipia, Isiolo, Meru, Embu, Nyeri, Kiambu and Muranga county originate. The succesful farming in the counties outside the national park is ALL fed by the waters of these glaciers. A few disasters ahead fellow Kenyans. Let's prepare well for the uncertain future.

[@janemaisiba1367]

I am hail from the Central Kenya where you one is able to see the Mount Kenya which have very little ice on top remaining 😮

[@themez7707]

Just the intro of the video is epic

[@wilhelm4089]

Neat stuff.

That's really cool. :)

[@davidmwangi4811]

This is biblical Mt Zion , where the judgment and the new kingdom of YAHASHUA will be established and the while world will be judged for the seat of YAHSHUA OMASHIA will be placed in Mt Zion, where fire ( judgement) and water (peace) will live side by side ,

[@janemwangi-ds4ez]

Nice one

[@kwemoidaniel7004]

Mt kenya is big😮

[@salieujallow9112]

Amazing place

[@bobmorris6599]

It's the old story of turning up the heat on a pot of frogs in water. Besides the average person does not give a crap about a glacier in Africa. I recall Botanist monks burning themselves alive to stop the way in Vietnam. It made good news footage but little else. So don't get any ideas.

[@ThePanther97]

Well just remember that humans and animals in Kenya depend on the glaciers water and once it disappears all life in the lowlands will be in deep turmoil but hey since when did people from the west ever care for Africans anyway. Rest my case

[@salieujallow9112]

Beautiful place

[@JospherOkoth]

Am so saddened that future generations might not see this glaciers. Michael Jackson's earth song comes to my mind.

[@mrcapybara3579]

And there are people who will say that climate change is not real. smh😔😔😔

[@jymoyuletumoja8751]

That where trumph was born his father was a logger and a hunter in those slopes

[@darkmath100]

And I should be upset the glacier is disappearing because................?

[@ThePanther97]

Because when it disappears all of life below will change for the worst, literally we're talking about animals and humans going through a famine because the water from the glaciers will suddenly stop reaching the lowlands which makes the dry season longer and in the end life will be much harder for any species that depends on the glaciers water as well as humans

[@darkmath100]

The Panther "in the end life will be much harder"......I believe in Evolution and Survival of the Fittest. A harder life means less weakness and that's ok by me. Hey it got us this far, why fight it. ;-)

[@ThePanther97]

darkmath100 I guess that's how it is right
