摘要: Abstract Mount Kenya embodies one of the longest glacial records any tropical mountain, documented from Early Pleistocene. Beginning soon after crystallization volcanic plug (2.71 Ma), early Gorges Glaciation was followed by a succession at least four stages culminating in two Late Neoglacial advances.
