Kilamanjaro

Mt. Kilamanjaro is the tallest mountain in Africa.  Very few people choose to climb it but when they do usually only 50% of the climbers survive and make it to the top,  the other people  die or turn around.  It is super hard to breath in high altitude .  We live at sea level, so they only have 1/2 of what we have to breath.  Sometimes when you are climbing  Kilamanjaro you might come across a couple of animal bones.  Some scientists think that the animals want to see what is up there and are curious about it.  So they try and climb the mountain unfortunately not everybody makes it!!!
