Rebmann Glacier

It is a small remnant of an enormous ice cap which once crowned Kilimanjaro.

This ice cap has retreated significantly over the past century; between 1912 and 2000, 82 percent of the glacial ice on the mountain disappeared.

[1] Rebmann Glacier is named for German missionary and explorer Johann Rebmann,[2] who was the first European explorer to report observations of snow and glaciers atop Kilimanjaro, in 1848.
