Ptolemy's Mountains of the Moon — a glaciated range rising to Margherita Peak at 5,109m, the third-highest point in Africa. The climb passes through vegetation zones found almost nowhere else: bamboo, then a surreal Afro-alpine belt of giant lobelia and tree groundsel taller than a person, then rock, snow and ice on the equator. The full summit circuit takes eight to nine days and demands real mountain fitness.

The most beautiful and least-visited big mountain in Africa. The giant lobelia zone looks like another planet entirely.

Brutally wet and muddy — that is simply the Rwenzoris. Porters and guides were outstanding throughout.

Standing on a glacier on the equator is a strange and wonderful thing. Serious expedition, superbly run.
