Lonnie Thompson, professor of geological sciences, Ohio State's Byrd Polar
Research Center, reported that at least one-third of the massive ice field
atop Tanzania's Mount Kilimanjaro in Africa has disappeared, or melted, in
the last dozen years. About 82 percent of the ice field has been lost since
it was first mapped in 1912. He said: "At this rate, all of the ice will be
gone between the years 2010 and 2020. And that is probably a conservative
estimate,"
