Kalene Hill is a community in the northwest of Zambia near a hill by the same name about to the southeast. Kalene Hill was the site of an early medical mission. The hospital is still important to the region. ==Location== The Kalene hill is a low ridge of Karoo sandstone. It lies in Lunda territory. Local tradition says that a chief created it when he found his way was blocked by a huge swamp. The chief called on his ancestral spirits and dropped magic powder along the route he wanted to take. Dry land broke up from the marsh and formed the long hill of today. The hill is close to the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) to the north and Angola to the west. At the hilltop is often cool. From the summit one can see far into Angola and the DRC. The Zambezi has its source near Kalene Hill at an elevation of about . To the west of the hill the land falls away steeply to the headwaters of the Zambezi River, where there is the Zengamina hydroelectric power generation plant. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kalene Hill」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
