mount gahinga
Mt. Gahinga is one of three Virunga Volcanoes on Ugandan territory. Since the crater is at 3,474 m altitude, there are clouds even when the sun is shining brightly. Cold wind was blowing, and I was feeling as if I had come on a hot day in a room with an air conditioner. It was noon in June, in Equatorial Africa, and I was wearing a fleece jacket. The crater was filled with dense mist, and first I couldn't see what was inside. Then the wind blew the cloud off and revealed the light green surface of the crater swamp. It was like in a dream, or like on a different planet.
