Drygalski Glacier

The Drygalski Glacier was a large ice sheet located on Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, the highest mountain in Africa. Part of the Northern Ice Field near the mountain's summit, it dated to the last ice age, around 11,700 years ago. The glacier was discovered in 1898 by Hans Meyer, who nine years earlier had been the first person to reach Kilimanjaro's summit. It was named after Erich von Drygalski. Between 1912 and the present day, the ice sheets on Kilimanjaro have retreated dramatically. As of 2016, only the top portions of the Northern Ice Field were reported as still being extant and the Drygalski Glacier was reported as vanished by 2022.
