Rotundu

Rotundu is a flat, heavily forested peak on the side of Mount Kenya. It's formed by a near-perpendicular wall raising from a height of approximately 3,100 metres (10,200 ft)¹ above sea level and finally flattening 150 metres (490 ft) above the peak's base. The flat land on the peak also hosts Lake Rotundu (0°02′28″S 37°27′48″E / 0.041242°S 37.463458°E / -0.041242; 37.463458. Some of the plants found on the peak are puzzling, as one would not expect to find them growing at that altitude.
