Rebmann Glacier, Glacier on Mount Kilimanjaro, Tanzania

The Rebmann Glacier maintains its position at 5,700 meters elevation on Mount Kilimanjaro's southeastern slope near the mountain's primary summit region.

German missionary Johannes Rebmann first documented the existence of snow and glaciers on Mount Kilimanjaro during his exploration in 1848.

Local Chagga communities have developed traditions and narratives about Mount Kilimanjaro's glaciers, incorporating them into their understanding of the landscape.

The glacier requires specialized climbing equipment and experienced guides to access, as it sits along challenging routes leading to Kilimanjaro's summit.

Scientific measurements indicate this glacier has lost 82 percent of its ice mass between 1912 and 2000 due to environmental changes.
