Mt. Kenya National Park.

Mount Kenya, at an altitude of 5199 [17058ft] the country's highest mountain, has its higher slope permanently covered in snow and ice, even though it sits astride the equator.

The National park comprises the mountain above the 320m [10,500ft] contour plus two salients astride the Naro moru and the Sirimon routes.

The mountain consist of three peaks the Batian [the highest] Nelion and Lenana. Of these peaks, the original hard center core is all that remains; the bulk of the volcano has been eroded away with time.
