Hey everybody, greetings from Kilimanjaro at about 14,500 feet or so. We're
getting up here into the alpine desert
the alpine desert has basically no
plant life there might be a few little
grasses or something hiding in the lee of a
boulder but basically nothing growing
here at all. You can see I have all my
sun stuff on because the solar is really
intense up here, a lot of UV. And then
over my shoulder you can see the western
breach of Kilimanjaro. We're working our
way up to the base of that to camp
tonight we'll head on all the way up in
the Alpine desert gives way to the polar
zone or the glacier zone so pretty cool
place very much like walking on the moon
you can imagine or walking on Mars.
Although we don't have oxygen tanks
so not quite the same...
