Colleen Riffert, 33, of East Manchester Township, took this photo after five days hiking up Mount Kilimanjaro in June.

She wrote that they started the hike at midnight and reached the summit of Stella Point at 6:45 a.m. as the sun was coming up over the glaciers of the mountain.

Riffert's camera froze shortly after taking this shot.

Her travel tip: You need to be in really good shape to climb the mountain because you're hiking eight hours a day and you need to be able to handle camping without running water.

Do you know where Mount Kilimanjaro is? What continent? What country? Post a comment and tell us.
