This group collects the Glaciers and Ice Formations subcategory's members located in Africa, a small set of equatorial mountain glaciers found at high elevation on peaks such as Kilimanjaro in Tanzania and the Rwenzori Mountains on the Uganda-Democratic Republic of the Congo border. These glaciers are geologically and climatically distinct from every other continent's entries in this subcategory: they exist only because of extreme altitude rather than high latitude, and most are in active, well-documented retreat, making Africa the smallest continent-level group in this subcategory even as the underlying features remain scientifically notable.
