Synopsis
Some scientists believe the snow cap of Mount Kilimanjaro will be gone in two decades. Researchers say the ice fields on Africa's highest mountain shrank by 80 percent in the past century. The snow cap formed some 11,000 years ago. The Landsat satellite captured these images of Kilimanjaro February 17, 1993 and February 21, 2000. Note: Swing in to view Mount Kilimanjaro on February 17, 1993. Data Collected: 17-Feb-93. Animator: James W. Williams (GST), Marte Newcombe (GST). Scientist: Darrel Williams (NASA/GSFC).
