Mount Kenya in pictures.
Mount Kenya is an ancient extinct volcano and the highest mountain in Kenya, its rugged summits of Batian, Nelion and Point Lenana crowned by shrinking glaciers. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the surrounding national park climbs through dense forest and bamboo into surreal afro-alpine moorland dotted with giant lobelias. It draws trekkers and technical climbers seeking one of East Africa's great mountain adventures.
