Mount Rwenzori, often referred to as the "Mountains of the Moon," is a majestic mountain range in western Uganda, bordering the Democratic Republic of Congo. It's a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its stunning alpine scenery, including glaciers, waterfalls, and lakes, despite being located near the equator.
The range includes Africa's third-highest peak, Margherita Peak on Mount Stanley, which stands at 5,109 meters (16,762 ft). Unlike other major African peaks like Kilimanjaro, the Rwenzori Mountains are non-volcanic, formed by tectonic activity. They are a vital water catchment area, contributing to the source of the River Nile, and are characterized by unique plant life, including giant heathers, groundsels, and lobelias.
