Rwaka Volcano

The tallest mountain on the Veldt, Rwaka Volcano, is visible for hundreds of miles in all directions. It is an almost perfectly conical volcano which formed some million years ago. Because of its young age, it is relatively impoverished in terms of wildlife, but home to unique plant species such as the Rwaka balsan, the cabbage groundsel, and the a pale blue gentian. Lower down, rain forests are prevalent, home to elephants, buffalo, rhinoceroses, leopards, and monkeys. With a permanent snowcap, magnificent glaciers crown its summit, although there is no free-standing water on its surface. Its peaks are not a single volcano, but three. The last eruption occurred 36,000 years ago, which the Locho people, who live at the mountain's base, may recall in some of their folklore.
