		Melting of Andean snow fields is already having an impact in Peru, which boasts three-quarters of the planet's tropical glaciers.
		Kilimanjaro's ice is particularly valuable, being the only source for tropical ice-core data in all of Africa.
		Kilimanjaro is the number-one foreign currency earner for the government of Tanzania, says Thompson, whose team drilled ice cores from the mountain's glaciers in 2000.

		Kilimanjaro's snow and ice were a mere backdrop to Hemingway's tale, but they tell climate scientists stories of droughts, including one around 4,000 years ago that helped bring down Egypt's old kingdom, when pharaohs wouldn't let their children outside for fear mobs would kill them, says Lonnie Thompson of Ohio State University.
		Douglas Hardy, head of the University of Massachusetts group that's studying Kilimanjaro's weather, and his associates are turning to the other big question: What has caused the snow atop Kilimanjaro to shrink from 4.6 square miles in 1912 to about one square mile today.

		Kilimanjaro's glacial rivers -- once bursting with mountain spring water -- have been reduced to babbling brooks because the glaciers that spawn these rivers are shrinking.

		There are concerns that disappearing glacial ice and snow could leave the region more starved for sources of already scarce drinking and irrigation water.

		Tanzania is presently facing not only a significant change to its landscape and the loss of one of the world's most renowned geographic features, but also the disappearance of a major ecosystem-stabilizer that helps to regulate the climate, wildlife and terrain of the region.

	The Snows Of Kilimanjaro \| Sprol
		Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in Africa, is an inactive stratovolcano, which peaks at 19,340 feet.
		In 2001, scientists at the American Association for the Advancement of Science, projected that if the current rate of ice deterioration were to continue, most of Kilimanjaro's glaciers would disappear within just 15 years and the summit would be completely free of ice by the year 2020.
		The dwindling quantity of ice on Kilimanjaro may be an abstract issue for most of us, but experts believe that tropical glaciers like those on Kilimanjaro are highly sensitive to climate change and, therefore, are good indicators of more serious global warming trends.

	The Snows of Kilimanjaro & 5 Fingers - Bernard Herrmann (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07)
		I think it would be fair to say that neither The Snows of Kilimanjaro nor 5 Fingers are remembered today, but in terms of music The Snows of Kilimanjaro is perhaps the better known, mostly through the inclusion of the lovely Memory Waltz on several Herrmann compilations.
		Perhaps the most atypical section of The Snows of Kilimanjaro is the Overture, full of swirling strings that for me represent the wind and snow atop a mountain peak, although the liner notes suggest that it suggests the obsession of the characters.
		As score restorer John Morgan comments in his final thoughts to the liner notes, much of The Snows of Kilimanjaro and 5 Fingers is a touch static, but William Stromberg makes those cues, with the repeated musical cells that Herrmann so loved, interesting with subtle variations in volume and emphasis.

		Before the decade is out, Kilimanjaro will lose the snow which covered it for the last 11,000 years -- the snow which fascinated travelers, inspired artists, and gave it the name "shining mountain." Global warming and deforestation are both culprits; the relative balance between the two is still subject to debate (see comments for links).
		According to Hardy, forest reduction in the areas surrounding Kilimanjaro, and not global warming, might be the strongest human influence on glacial recession.
		Evidence of glacial recession on Kilimanjaro is often dated from 1912, but most scientists believe tropical glaciers began receding as early as the 1850s.
