The glaciers（冰川）are disappearing, changing the 43 of Kilimanjaro.Hearing these stories, I’m 44 about the place —other destinations are described as “purer” natural experiences.However, I soon 45 that much has changed since the days of disturbing reports of46 among tons of rubbish. I find a 47 mountain, with toilets at camps and along thepaths. The environmental challenges are 48 but the efforts made by the TanzaniaNational Park Authority seem to be 49 .The best of a Kilimanjaro 50 , in my opinion, isn’t reaching the top.
