Mount Kenya

Mt. Kenya is a dome-shaped central volcano. It is the largest mountain in Kenya.

Ten glaciers cover the volcanos peaks.

The original crater on Mt. Kenya was over 20,000 ft (6100 m) high but has been heavily eroded.

Most of this erosion occurred during two periods when glaciers carved much of the top of the volcano.

These periods wore down the ring-like plug forming the top of Mt. Kenya.

Several types of volcanic rocks make up the mountain. The most common rocks are basalts.

The Mount Kenya Suite consists of all the rocks erupted from Mt. Kenya and volcanoes that were built by it.
