“The Skating Pond. 16,000 feet up. This is very close to 2nd rest house. This pond varies in size, at times being very small. It is formed from the melting of the Lewis glacier seen above.” Landscape view of a mountain peak with a glacier running down one side and two figures next to a frozen pond. Chogoria mission was only 35 miles from the summit. ❧ Image from the collection of Dr Archibald Clive Irvine (1893-1974) showing the early years of the Chogoria mission, established near Mt Kenya in 1922 and run by Dr Irvine, ministering to the Chuka and Mwimbi peoples.
