The Rwenzori Mountains, commonly known as the "Mountains of the Moon," are one of Africa's most spectacular mountain ranges. They are located along the border between Uganda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The range stretches for approximately 120 kilometers and is renowned for its snow-capped peaks, glaciers, unique vegetation, and exceptional biodiversity. Unlike many African mountains that are volcanic in origin, the Rwenzori Mountains were formed through tectonic uplift. The range contains Africa's third-highest peak, Margherita Peak, which rises to 5,109 meters (16,762 feet) above sea level. Other notable peaks include Mount Speke, Mount Baker, Mount Emin, Mount Gessi, and Mount Luigi di Savoia. The mountains are protected by Rwenzori Mountains National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its remarkable ecosystems ranging from tropical rainforest to alpine meadows and permanent ice fields.
