The
Rwenzori Mountains, previously called the
Ruwenzori Range (spelling changed c. 1980 to conform more closely with the local name "Rwenjura"), and sometimes the
Mountains of the Moon, is a mountain range of eastern Equatorial
Africa, located on the border between
Uganda and the
Democratic Republic of the Congo. The Rwenzori mountains support glaciers and are one source of the river
Nile.
