If you are one who has seen a huge mountain in real life, there is little chance that you went away without appreciating its grandeur. Such is the glory that structures like mountains have. And if it is something like Mount Kenya, it cannot but leave a spectator spellbound.
Located in Kenya, Mount Kenya is the second highest peak in Africa, after Kilimanjaro. It stands at a height of 5199 metres above sea level, making it one of the most beautiful sights in the world.
Mount Kenya is an ancient extinct volcano which was active thousands of years ago. Currently, there are eleven small, shrinking glaciers on the mountain.
There are three major peaks on the mountain- Batian, Nelion and Lenana. The first persons to climb Batian were Sir Halford John Mackinder, Josef Brocherel, and Cesar Oilier.
