Mount Kenya – Up High at God’s Mountain
Mount Kenya is Africa’s second highest mountain, after Kilimanjaro. It is estimated to be 2.5 million years ancient, and Kilimanjaro at 750,00 years of age is really an upstart. Time has really taken its toll, and the peak is thought to have dropped from 6,500 m those millions of years ago to 5,199 m today. The mountain is an extinct volcano, whose plug forms what is today the peak area. The crater was long ago, done to death, by nature’s untiring erosion agents.
