Rotundu

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rotundu is a flat heavily forested peak on the side of Mount Kenya. Its formed by a near perpendicular wall raising from a height of around 3,100m (10,200 ft)[1] above sea level and finally flattening 150 meters above the peak's base. The flat land on the peak also host Lake Rotundu. Some of the plants found on the peak are puzzling as one would not expect to find them growing at that altitude.
