Kediet ej Jill. Kediet ej Jill (Arabic: ???????? ????????) is a mountain in Tiris Zemmour, Mauritania, with the city of Zou??rat on its east and Fderick at west. Geography At 915 m (3,002 ft) tall, Kediet ej Jill includes the highest peak in Mauritania. The mountain and its surrounding area are rich in iron deposits, thought to have been mined here since the 11th century and commercially exploited since 1952. The mines are connected to Nouadhibou on the Atlantic coast by a 700 km railway. Geology The mountain appears bluish because of the high concentration of magnetite, an iron ore and naturally magnetic. Owing to its inherent magnetic properties, the mountain disrupts navigational compasses. Similar magnetic fields allowed the discovery of other deposits in the region (magnetite guelbs) in the 1960s. Environment Ephemeral watercourses...

Mount Hombori. Mount Hombori (Hombori Tondo) is a mountain in Mali's Mopti Region, near the town of Hombori. At 1,155 meters, it is the highest point in Mali. Biodiversity Mount Hombori is an important location for biodiversity in the Sahel, with 150 different species of plants along with various species of mammals, birds, reptiles, and insects on its two-square-kilometer plateau surface. Flora In contrast to the surface of the plateau, the surrounding 10,000 square kilometers of flatlands contain only about 200 different species of plants. A major contributing factor to Hombori's biodiversity is a lack of cattle grazing at the summit, which is protected on all sides by sheer cliffs. For many species of plants, including Bombax costatum, Hombori is the northernmost point of their distribution, demonstrating its importance as a haven for many southern species. Fauna...
