Rebmann Glacier
Glacier on Mount Kilimanjaro, Tanzania
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Rebmann Glacier is an active glacier located near the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania. It is a small remnant of an enormous ice cap which once crowned Kilimanjaro. This ice cap has retreated significantly over the past century; between 1912 and 2000, 82 percent of the glacial ice on the mountain disappeared.[1]
