Mountains and lakes of East Africa.
The Ruwenzori Range is located along the border between Uganda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.12
Situated slightly north of the Equator, the range extends approximately 80 miles (130 km) in a north-south direction between Lake Edward and Lake Albert. Unlike many other East African mountains, which are primarily of volcanic origin, the Ruwenzori is a massive horst. Its highest point is Mount Stanley, which features Margherita Peak.12
