Barafuto
Afrika ina barafuto ndogo kadhaa juu ya mlima Kilimanjaro na mlima Kenya lakini zinaelekea kupotea kutokana na uhaba wa mvua itakayobadilika kuwa theluji mpya.
Zamani za enzi ya barafu kiwango cha barafu kwenye ncha ya kaskazini kilikuwa kikubwa kiasi cha kusababisha barafuto kutokea zilizosukuma barafu hadi Ulaya ya Kati.
Kilimanjaro (Volkeno)
Tarehe 6 Oktoba 1889 Hans Meyer alikuwa mtu wa kwanza anayejulkikana kupanda mlima na kufika hadi kilele cha Kibo. Alichagua jina la "Kaiser-Wilhelm-Spitze" ("Ncha ya Kaisari Wilhelm"). That name apparently was used until Tanzania was formed in 1964, when the summit was renamed "Uhuru", meaning "Freedom Peak" in Kiswahili.
