Mount Kenya
The mountain's lower slopes, which have never been glaciated, are currently dominated by a mix of cultivation and forest, and are characterized by deep, fluvial V-shaped valleys with numerous branching tributaries. In contrast, the higher elevations of the moorland zone feature shallower, flat-bottomed U-shaped valleys carved by ancient glacial activity. This stark topographical shift marks the transition from landscapes shaped by millions of years of river erosion to those sculpted by the movement of prehistoric ice sheets.
