7 Mountain Series Through The African Continent With The Beauty Of Nature Stunning

YOGYAKARTA - The mountain series through the African continent is a dominant geomorphological feature.

The mountain series that span from north to south, and from east to west, have been formed through various geological processes over millions of years.

Interestingly, these mountains not only offer stunning views, but also become home to a variety of ecosystems and cultures.

Reporting from the climbing-kilimanjaro page, here are seven mountains surrounding the African continent:

One of Africa's most prominent mountainworks is the Atlas Mountains, which stretches for more than 1,200 miles in the northwestern region. The mountains are the backbone of three countries in the Maghrib: Algeria, Morocco, and Tunisia regions.

The highest peak is Mount Toubkal, which stands at an altitude of 13,671 feet. The Atlas Mountains is also home to natives of Berber and a variety of flora and fauna, including Barbary monkeys, Atlaser snakes, and BARbary leopards.

In South Africa, the Drakensberg Mountains is a natural barrier between the central highlands and coastal lowlands. Crossing more than 700 miles, this mountain is home to the highest peak in South Africa, Thabana Ntlenyana, which stands at an altitude of 11,424 feet.

The Drakensberg Mountains is also known for its diverse plant and animal life, ranging from several species such as mountain sparrows, Tanjung carcasses, and Drakensberg skin.

Located in Ethiopia, the Ethiopian Highlands are often referred to as "Atap Africa" because of their vast heights. The rocky mountain masses are divided into two parts, namely Massif Abyssinian and Massive Harar.

The Simien Mountains, part of Massif Abyssinian, is home to Ras Dashen with the highest peak in Ethiopia at an altitude of 14,930 feet. The mountains are home to endemic species such as ibex Walia, Ethiopian wolves, and baikon Gelada.

The Virunga Mountains is a series of eight volcanoes that span 50 miles between Rwanda, Uganda, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. These mountains are home to endangered mountain gorillas.

Located in the center of the Darfur region, Sudan, the Marrah Mountains is a unique combination of volcanic peaks and fertile valleys. With an area of about 100 miles, the highest point of this mountainwork is Kaldera Deriba with a height of 9,980 feet.

Volcanic fields in the Marrah Mountains also contain minerals such as phosphates, phosphorus, vanadium, and uranium. These mountains are home to native Nuba communities who depend on seasonal agriculture and grazing.

The Simien Mountains offers stunning views and rich biodiversity.

The mountain series is located in the Amhara region, northern Ethiopia, and home to Ras Dejen with the highest peak in the country with a height of 14,930 feet.
