Abstract

 The photograph in Fig. 1 (taken and provided by Shun Nakano) depicts the landscape 13 years previously in January 1996 at a similar location to the cover photograph. Although the angle of the photograph in Fig. 1 is slightly different from the cover photograph, 13-year change in the shape of the ice cap can be observed.<br> After Thompson et al. (2009), Kilimanjaro's summit ice cover (areal extent) decreased about 1% per year from 1912 to 1953 and about 2.5% per year from 1989 to 2007. It is projected that the ice cover will almost vanish by the year 2015 (Iwata and Komori, 2010) based on past data (Thompson et al., 2002).
