Africas highest mountain, Mt. Kilimanjaro rises over a layer of clouds late
Africas highest mountain, Mt. Kilimanjaro rises over a layer of clouds late afternoon on December 13, 2009. According to a recent study by the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the USA (PNAS) the ice sheet that capped Kilimanjaro in 2007 was 85 percent smaller than the one that covered its plateau in 1912. The mountains ice cover shrank about 1 percent a year from 1912 to 1953, a rate that has accelerated in recent years. From 1989 to 2007, that rate jumped to 2.5 percent a year. Since 2000, the plateaus three remaining ice fields have shrunk by 26 percent, scientists found If current conditions persist, climate change experts say, Kilimanjaros world-renowned glaciers, which have covered Africas highest peak for centuries, will be gone within the next two decades. World leaders struggled to nail...

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the majestic beauty of Africa's highest mountain, Mt. Kilimanjaro, as it rises above a layer of clouds on a late afternoon in December 2009. However, behind this breathtaking scenery lies a concerning truth about the impact of climate change on our planet. According to a recent study by the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the USA (PNAS), the once vast ice sheet that crowned Kilimanjaro has dramatically diminished over time. In 2007, it was found to be 85 percent smaller than its size in 1912 when it covered the entire plateau. The rate at which this ice cover has been shrinking has accelerated significantly in recent years. Scientists have discovered that from 1989 to 2007 alone, Kilimanjaro's glaciers were receding at an alarming rate of 2.5 percent per year. Since then, these three remaining ice fields have already shrunk by another staggering 26 percent since 2000. If current conditions persist and climate change continues unabated, experts predict that Kilimanjaro's iconic glaciers will vanish within the next two decades. This sobering reality serves as a stark reminder for world leaders and individuals alike to take urgent action against climate change before we lose irreplaceable natural wonders like this forever. The photographer Roberto Schmidt skillfully captures both the awe-inspiring grandeur and fragile vulnerability embodied by Mt. Kilimanjaro in this photograph – an image that compels us all to reflect upon our collective responsibility towards preserving our environment for future generations.
