Wie Hassenstein und Ravenstein Opfer des Gletscherrückgangs wurden

Abstract

ZusammenfassungCartographers are rarely honoured by the use of their name as a toponym (proper name of a topographic object). On Kilimanjaro, however, the first climber and geographer, Hans Meyer, commemorated two outstanding contemporaries known in cartography, Ravenstein and Hassenstein. He named lava rocks after them which protruded from their embrace of ice.
