If you read Ernest Hemingway's *The* *Snows of Kilimanjaro*, you may love the story and feel surprised at Mount Kilimanjaro's snow - capped top. The mountain is the highest in northeastern Tanzania in Africa with the height (高度) of 5,895 metres.
No one knows how Kilimanjaro got its name. It may come from the Swahili word “kilima” (meaning “mountain”) and the Chagga word “njaro” (meaning “shining” or “whiteness”).
Kilimanjaro is a popular hiking place. This is because the hiking routes do not require much experience. Thousands of climbers climb the mountain for fun each year.
In 1973, the government built Kilimanjaro National Park and it became a UNESCO World Heritage Site (世界遗产地) later in 1987. More and more animals live in this mountain and its forests, like the blue monkey, and it helped improve the area's special environment.
The mountain is famous for its snow on the top. Unluckily, the white snow may soon disappear. Over the last hundred years, all of Kilimanjaro's glaciers have begun to become smaller. Higher temperatures (温度) are a main reason, but they're not the only one. The less rain has also played a big role in losing snow. If this continues, most of the glaciers may disappear by 2040.
It's clear that we need to take action to protect the natural beauty now.
