Two zebras roam around the grassland at the foot of the snow-capped Mount Kilimanjaro at dusk near the border of Kenya July 25, 2004. Kilimanjaro, meaning bright mountain in Swahili, is the highest mountain in Africa with an altitude of 5,895 meters. A research released by Science magazine said that the glaciers in the mountain might totally disappear by the year of 2020. The area of the glaciers had shrunk to 12 sq. km. by 2000 from 26 sq. km. in 1912.
Hidden under cloud, the snow-capped Mount Kilimanjaro reflects golden light in the morning of July 26, 2004.
