Mulanje photos

Because of time, I wasn’t able to post any Mulanje photos in the post, so here’s to remedying the problem.

Mulanje is actually a plateau with several peaks. In the first photo, you can see one of the peaks, Chambe Peak about 500m shy of the tallest peak, rising out of the top of the pleateau. We are looking at it from the south, but the northern cliff face is supposedly the longest one in Africa.

The second photo shows us on the summit, a peak called Osapitwa; the name means do not go in older Chichewa. You can see that we’re surrounded by fog/a rain cloud.

The last photo just shows an agreeable stream running over the plateau. Streams are a common sight, and when it rains, turbulent waterfalls come crashing off the peaks. In the right corner, you can see the plateau dropping off and perhaps get a vague sense of the elevation.
