Mount Richard-Molard, Mountain peak and nature reserve at Guinea-Cote d'Ivoire border
Mount Richard-Molard rises to 1,752 meters, featuring iron-rich quartzite sheets, schists, and granite gneiss formations across its slopes and summit.
The mountain received its name in 1951 after French geographer Jacques Richard-Molard, who died in an accident at this location that year.
Local communities refer to this geographical landmark as Mont Nimba, reflecting its significance across different ethnic groups in West Africa.
Access to the mountain requires guided tours, with arrangements made through park administration for permits and transportation from major cities.
This peak serves as the highest point for both Guinea and Cote d'Ivoire, making it one of only five mountains worldwide marking two national summits.
