Fig. 2 Hypsography of the eight African mountains that were most extensively glaciated during the Late Pleistocene. Top row (excluding High Atlas) shows the hypsography of the three highest mountains in the Ethiopian Highlands and bottom row shows the hypsography of four East African mountains. Note that the total surface area of the Bale Mountains above 3000 m is more than twice as large as that of most of the other peaks. The varying hypsography of the mountains has implications for prese...
