Mount Satima
Mount Satima, also known as Mount Lesatima and often abbreviated to Satima or Lesatima, is the third-highest mountain in Kenya and the highest in the Aberdare Range. The Maasai name is Oldoinyo Lesatima, which has a variety of alternative spellings, such as Ol Donyo Le Satima, and means "mountain of the bull calf".〔Mary Fitzpatrick, Matthew Fletcher, David Wenk, ''Trekking in East Africa'' (Lonely Planet Publications, 2003), p. 190〕
The peak lies at the northern end of the Aberdares, which themselves are along the eastern side of the Great Rift Valley, and is their highest point. Around it stand a number of sharp volcanic cones called "the Dragon's Teeth".〔''Fodor's Kenya, Tanzania, Seychelles'' (Fodor's Travel Publications, 1990), p. 65〕 There are moraines between 3,600 and 3,800 metres on the north west of the mountain.〔S. Hastenrath, ''The glaciers of equatorial East Africa'' (1984), p. 58〕 One book on Kenya has called the mountain itself "a craggy bluff of rock and tussock grass around which the clouds swirl".〔Mohamed Amin, Duncan Willetts, Brian Tetley, ''Kenya: the magic land'' (Bodley Head, 1988), p. 126〕
