Mount Kilimanjaro Webcam
This Mount Kilimanjaro webcam gives some awesome views of the
highest mountain in Africa, standing at 19,341 feet above sea
level. Mount Kilimanjaro is a volcanic mountain that started life
some one million years ago, although there has been no activity in
the past two hundred years.
Despite
this, volcanic gases still emanate from one of its three volcanic
cones, Kibo, a cone that measures some 1.5 miles across!
Whilst Mount Kilimanjaro is a
million years old, it only first became known to Europeans in 1848 when a German
missionary recorded its presence in his journal, and in the following years many
expeditions were undertaken.
Today Mount Kilimanjaro is a favourite walking
destination, not least by people attempting to raise money for charity.
To visit the webcam simply click on the image

This Mount Kilimanjaro webcam is believed to be the only webcam featuring the
mountain, and, in addition to seeing live images that refresh every few minutes
there is also an archive of pictures together with a video showing some great
shots of Mount Kilimanjaro.
If
its dark when you visit its probably night time where the camera is located on
the border of Tanzania and
Kenya.
