caption_attribution_description: Image altered to locate glaciers on top of Mount Kilimanjaro. NASA image from 2004. Most areas that are not identified are either small remnant glaciers, or snowfields. In the northern icefields, both Credner and Drygalski glaciers were once outflow glaciers of the icefield but may longer exist, per se. Much information to help locate which glacier is which was taken from the USGS report and a 1980 NASA image on page G61 of this report
context_page_description: Arrow Glacier is located near the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, on the west slope of the peak and is a small remnant of an icecap which once crowned the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro. The glacier is situated at an elevation of between 5,470 and 5,300 metres. Arrow Glacier is adjacent to a climbing route known as the Western Breach/Arrow Glacier Route or more commonly, the Lemosho Route. Arrow Glacier is a recently named glacial remnant that may not even exist as of 2011. It was what remained of an earlier glacier known as the Little Barranco Glacier.
