Snow in Kenya is not a particularly common sight, given that the east Africa country sits right on the equator and has vast stretches of semi-desert scrubland. And yet, there is one spot where you can always find snow in Kenya.
Mount Kenya is the tallest mountain in Kenya, and the second highest in all of Africa. Only Tanzania's Mount Kilimanjaro towers higher. The top of Mount Kenya is perpetually snow-covered due to the high elevation. In fact, the Meru people call the mountain "Kirimara", which translates from their language to "that which has white stuff", in reference to the white peaks.
<span>Snow can be found in some regions of Kenya,
more specifically, its mountainous regions. This East African country has
diverse climatic conditions and terrains ranging from the hot and dry deserts
to cool and wet highlands. Kenya resides
along the Equator with its highest point being Mt. Kenya recorded at 5,197</span> meters and its lowest elevation witnessed at the sea
level where its landmass meets the Indian Ocean. <span>The presence of snow in a given landscape is
determined by its elevation; the higher you go the cooler it becomes. The snow
line at the equator and its surrounding regions begin
at 4500 meters and above. At 5,197</span> meters,<span> Mt. Kenya meets this requirement;
therefore, enjoys the presence of snow at its peak throughout the year. Other regions that have a lower elevation and
harsher climatic conditions do not have snow.</span>
Baffin Island is the only one that is correct you would think Canadian shield It has the name "Canadian" in it but sadly that is not true because there is parts of it in Minnesota and Wisconsin
