1010. Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa
The ice fields high up on Kilimanjaro are said to be the “ultimate destination” for mountain climbers. Unfortunately, scientific data indicates that the ice atop Africa’s highest mountain has been slowly receding by one percent each year since 1912. Ice stopped accumulating there 20 years ago.
