A new study says ancient snow on top of Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania could be gone in about 20 years. Huge layers of ice formed on the African mountain during a wet(S1)period about 11,000 years ago. But scientists say the ice on top of the mountain is melting because of rising(S2)temperatures in recent years.
The scientists used maps, modern navigational(S3)satellites and markers placed on the mountain to(S4)measure the ice. They found that the ice on Mount Kilimanjaro has(S5)shrunk from about 12 square kilometers in 1912 to about 2 square kilometers today. That is about an 80 percent reduction in the ice. Scientists say the ice will be gone by 2020 if it continues to melt at its current rate.
