Just 200 miles south of the equator, Kilimanjaro has both equatorial and arctic conditions. Here, five distinct climatic zones inhabit the slopes of this 19,340-foot peak. It is a botanist's dream: Rain forests rise out of the savanna, giving way to moorlands and alpine meadows where rare giant high altitude plants thrive. Atop this peak, a young female geologist takes viewers back to the dawn of time and the splitting apart of the African continent. Special DVD features include: materials and activities for educators; a link to the NOVA Web site; closed captions; and video descriptions.
