  1. This ~214° panorama depicts Kibo's Reusch Crater, the rim of which is visible here as the high point in all directions; it measures ~850 meters in diameter (Google Earth). The entire summit caldera is roughly 2.5 km in diameter, and encompasses the Reusch Crater shown here. Being older, the summit crater edge is le...

  2. Kersten Glacier upper margin, just below Uhuru Peak. Original images are a tad fuzzy due to manual focus.

  3. South-facing margin of the mountain's largest ice body. Considerable snow is visible for September; most is residual from the long rains season (i.e., April 2012), with the brightest snow being added a day or two earlier.

  4. This is the Furtwängler Glacier's western remnant. The split was complete by 2007, although the process was underway for at least 5 years and perhaps for decades. A few historical photos can be seen here: www.geo.umass.edu/climate/tanzania/furtwangler.html Will open in a new tab or window A 2012 view of the eastern sections can be seen here...

  5. These are the eastern portions of what was once the Furtwängler Glacier, within Kilimanjaro's crater. An initial split was complete by 2007, and this year the small ice block became detached. A panorama of the western portion, from the same perspective, is available here: gigapan.com/gigapans/116760 This pa...

  6. This is portion of the panorama visible from Tarangire Safari Lodge, within the National Park. During the dry season (e.g., September) at mid-day, quite a few mammal species are visible from the front patio area overlooking the river. In this scene there are large numbers of zebra and wildebeasts, plus elephants, a cou...

  7. This is a large section of the Quelccaya Ice Cap margin. A couple decades ago, ice covered virtually the entire scene, which is larger than it appears here (135° FOV). This ice-dammed lake could drain at any time, if a delicate balance is upset between hydrostatic pressure and the restraining capacity of the glacier -...

  8. Qori Kalis is an outlet glacier of Quelccaya Ice Cap in the Cordillera Vilcanota of southern Peru. Recession of Qori Kalis is well documented since 1963, primarily by Henry Brecher at Ohio State University. This GigaPan illustrates the moraine-dammed lake in July 2012. This lake began forming in the late 1980s as the i...

  9. This panorama was taken by hand-holding a DSLR and stitching 13 images together. On the left-hand side is Nevado Ausangate, the highest peak in the range at 6,384 m. For another perspective on this view, check this GigaPan: <http://gigapan.com/gigapans/97464>; (which does not include Ausangate).

  10. This scene is a detail of the larger panorama (GigaPan #110242), with a different exposure adjustment to better show aspects of the glacier.
