i'm kenyan and it is possible to see the beauty of this majestic from several parts of central kenya...what a beautiful thing it is. one also sees the extent of the receding ice even from a far. GREAT JOB SIMON!!!!!!!!!!!!!great job
When i was a kid the mountain was covered with a lot of snow.... nowadays you can barely see it at all.
Same..
This is true..
True
depends with the seasons
Stop giving European names to African heritages
yea
wooooo...so beautiful.. love the photos...
I was lost on that mountain for 3 days :l
what? how TF did you make it out alive? did you not have a guide?
Gangsta
@malek .how did you find yourself out. Or rather, how did you manage the way out.
@Ricardo Cadet u too
Tell us your story on “ I shouldn’t Be Alive” show 😂
Mt zion(mt Kenya) Africa come back home
Mt Zion or mountain of congregation is in the far north (Rupes nigra) Dean odle-Northpole is a great video to start your search.
Yah will reveal the Truth to us...it could be true....we near the end
Lol 😅
Amazing place
Surprised and saddened at the same time..
I was surprised when I heard mt Kenya have icebergs and snow ,before that I thought mt.kilimanjaro was the only mountain in Africa which have ice,
Meanwhile it's sad to see this beauty being diminished...
Ruwenzori mountains in Uganda has ice too and is very beautiful as well.
@@NYONAMATENDE thank you for another wonderful place I just came to know...
Are there big mountains with no ice
@@shudafa possible there...
Neat stuff.
Beautiful place
Just the intro of the video is epic
That's really cool. :)
Nice to hear someone who traveled to Africa at last, I always wondered how it would feel like traveling to Africa, how was the experience? I mean, I have heard so much about Africa! Which airport did his plane land on? Africa Intl' Airport? C'mmon NYT, you could just be as right if you said "Kenya" instead of "Africa". Is that too much to ask for?
Dat boss
Mount Kenya is in Kenya. That's common knowledge.
What in the world are you whining about?
We ni ngombe😹
@@collinstum5170😂😂hii ni ngombe na sio ngombe za kenya sijui ni ya wapi😂😂
Hudson: "Game over, man! Game over! We're doomed!"
Well this is depressing
awesome
Amazingly beautiful, God is so Awesome!!!
Nice one
Sliding down that glacier in 1984..
Good to see the hut..
wowww
Some Kenyans think that the loss of these glaciers means just lost beauty or lost ecosystem.
However more than 100 small towns and almost a dozen large towns are fully reliant on water from these very glaciers.
This is where most of the rivers in Laikipia, Isiolo, Meru, Embu, Nyeri, Kiambu and Muranga county originate.
The succesful farming in the counties outside the national park is ALL fed by the waters of these glaciers.
A few disasters ahead fellow Kenyans. Let's prepare well for the uncertain future.
Everything good goes away when the pigs show up!!!...... think about that 4 a second!!
Nice
alaaa iyo ni snow naona ikinyesha
What is the name of this nice music?
The frequency is what you want to know... The heartz
Wow i never knew Kenya had such amazing places
We have one of the most beautiful landscapes you could ever see with your eyes. Every region has a different weather pattern from North, Central, Western, Rift Valley and the Coast parts
Does one need to book to visit Mt Kenya? How much is paid per head?
ice at glacial speed
kitchen tables only need
twelve mayfields birds seed
It's the old story of turning up the heat on a pot of frogs in water. Besides the average person does not give a crap about a glacier in Africa. I recall Botanist monks burning themselves alive to stop the way in Vietnam. It made good news footage but little else. So don't get any ideas.
Well just remember that humans and animals in Kenya depend on the glaciers water and once it disappears all life in the lowlands will be in deep turmoil but hey since when did people from the west ever care for Africans anyway. Rest my case
mountain of Kenya
Seriously no game of thrones references????
Anyone??
Sounds like Sophie Turner doing the narrating.
🤩
And there are people who will say that climate change is not real. smh😔😔😔
Wacha kiberebere
Really 🧐🧐
Lmao what's a Lewis glacier
That where trumph was born his father was a logger and a hunter in those slopes
And I should be upset the glacier is disappearing because................?
Because when it disappears all of life below will change for the worst, literally we're talking about animals and humans going through a famine because the water from the glaciers will suddenly stop reaching the lowlands which makes the dry season longer and in the end life will be much harder for any species that depends on the glaciers water as well as humans
The Panther "in the end life will be much harder"......I believe in Evolution and Survival of the Fittest. A harder life means less weakness and that's ok by me. Hey it got us this far, why fight it. ;-)
darkmath100 I guess that's how it is right
This is biblical Mt Zion , where the judgment and the new kingdom of YAHASHUA will be established and the while world will be judged for the seat of YAHSHUA OMASHIA will be placed in Mt Zion, where fire ( judgement) and water (peace) will live side by side ,
Everyone knows?? Trump doesn't know
this is where Enoch ascended . he walked from America to here. before the Pangea of course
