Maromokotro, Volcanic summit in Diana Region, Madagascar
Maromokotro rises 2,876 meters above sea level within the Tsaratanana Massif, making it the highest elevation point in Madagascar.
The first documented ascent of Maromokotro occurred in 1936 when a French explorer reached the summit and placed a small cairn.
The mountain name originates from the Malagasy language, demonstrating the connection between local communities and natural landmarks in Madagascar.
Reaching Maromokotro requires more than two days of travel from the nearest towns of Bealanana and Ambanja through dense vegetation.
The summit forms a critical watershed, dividing three major river basins that supply water to the Bermarivo, Mahavavy, and Sambirano rivers.
