Crystal Mountains, Mountain range in western Gabon.
The Crystal Mountains contain multiple peaks below 1000 meters, featuring steep slopes with numerous streams and waterfalls along the Atlantic coast.
The Crystal Mountains National Park was established in 2002 as twin parks, Mbe and Mt Sene, to protect the region's exceptional plant diversity.
Local communities in the valleys of the Crystal Mountains maintain strong connections to the land through traditional resource management practices.
The mountain range stands at coordinates 0.805°N latitude and 10.16°E longitude, with Mont Mbilan reaching 925 meters as the highest point.
Scientists have discovered two frog species, Leptopelis crystallinoron and Leptodactylodon stevarti, that exist exclusively within these mountains.
