	Ruwenzori - LoveToKnow 1911
		The origin of the range seems connected with that of the rift-valley on the west, both being due to vertical displacements of the earth's crust.
		Ruwenzori has been formed by an upheaval en masse of a portion of the archaean floor of the continent, bounded east and west by lines of fracture, but resulting in a general dip from west to east.
		Attempts have been made to identify the range with the "Mountains of the Moon" of Ptolemy and other ancient writers, the snows of which were thought to feed the Nile lakes.

	NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Ruwenzori Mountains
		The Ruwenzori Range is a small mountain range of central Africa, often referred to as Mt. Ruwenzori, located on the border between Uganda and Congo, with heights of up to 5,109 m (16,761 ft).
		The Ruwenzoris are often identified with the "Mountains of the Moon" mentioned by Ptolemy, but the descriptions are too vague to make this definite.
		The first European sighting of the Ruwenzori was by the expedition of Henry Morton Stanley in 1889 (the aforementioned mists are considered to explain why two decades of previous explorers had not seen them).

		The Ruwenzori Mountains - or the Mountains of the Moon - rise to very high altitudes along the border area between the western Uganda and Zaire in central Africa.

		According to the local language of the natives, "Ruwenzori" means "The King of Mists" or "The Rain Maker".
