Excerpt from Across East African Glaciers: An Account of the First Ascent of Kilimanjaro Kilimanjaro was discovered by a German - the missionary, Rebmann it was first explored by a German - Baron von der Decken; and it seemed to me to be almost a national duty that a German should be the first to tread the summit of this mountain, probably the loftiest in Africa, and certainly the highest in the German Empire. Notwithstanding the efforts of the numerous travellers who had visited the region, many problems still lay awaiting solution. The geological strue ture of the mountain, the causes of the prevailing climatic conditions, the nature of the snow and ice in equatorial Africa, were all matters of universal interest which yet remained to be determined.
