Tanzania, 1997
Photograph by Daniel R. Westergren

Twilight descends on Tanzania’s Mount Kilimanjaro. Although Kilimanjaro is located just 200 miles [322 kilometers] south of the equator, the combination of sun angle, thin atmosphere, and extreme elevation means that its upper slopes experience "summer every day and winter every night."

坦桑尼亚 
  曙光洒落在坦桑尼亚境内的乞力马扎罗山脉。尽管它只位于赤道以南200哩,但日照角度、稀薄空气和绝对高度的共同作用,使得顶峰坡面历经着“日日酷暑夜夜冬”的境況。

Tanzania
A country of east-central Africa on the Indian Ocean. Inhabited since prehistoric times, most of the region became a German protectorate in 1891 and passed to the British in 1920 as Tanganyika. Zanzibar, a narrow strip along the coast, was a British protectorate after 1890. Tanganyika achieved independence in 1961 and joined with Zanzibar in 1964 to form Tanzania. Dar es Salaam is the de facto capital and the largest city; Dodoma is the official capital. Population, 17,557,000.

坦桑尼亚,1997 
曙光普照在坦桑尼亚的乞力马扎罗山上。尽管乞力马扎罗山坐落在离赤道南仅322千米,但在阳光角度,稀薄的空气和极高海拔的结合下,山顶坡面经受着“白天夏天晚上冬天”的巨大温差。
