Climate change could cause the legendary snow and ice atop Mount Kilimanjaro to disappear within the next 25 years, scientists report today in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
For the first time in almost 12,000 years, based on ice-core analysis, Africa's highest peak probably will be ice-free as early as 2022 or as late as 2033, says glaciologist Lonnie Thompson of Ohio State University, who led the study.
