Below are four sets of graphs and time-lapse video clips which illustrate the interannual variability of weather and snowcover at Kilimanjaro summit during February. The graph shows the average change in snow or ice surface height on the Northern Ice Field (black line) and that relative to a height datum on January 31st for the year illustrated (in color). The video provides a daily view of the glacier, crater, and Uhuru Peak - in addition to the weather each morning through the month.
