In May 2010 it was reported that the remaining Rwenzori ice cap (a World Heritage Site at 16,763’ – 5,109 m) has split, creating a crevasse of 6 metres due to global warming. The Rwenzori ice caps used to cover more than 1,482 acres (6 sq km) fifty years ago, but now cover about 247 acres (1 sq km). The imminent loss of this water source will certainly impact the flows of the White Nile.
