7. Mount Kilimanjaro (Tanzania)
The iconic, snow-capped peak of Mount Kilimanjaro is rapidly losing its glaciers. Scientists estimate that these ancient ice fields could vanish entirely within a few decades due to warming temperatures and changing precipitation patterns. Kilimanjaro’s plight is echoed by tropical glaciers in the Andes and Papua, which are also receding at alarming rates. This loss threatens not only local ecosystems but also the cultural and economic vitality tied to these majestic mountains.
