Malawi's tallest mountain, Mulanje, must be seen to be believed.
It towers above everything around it at 10,000ft (3,000m). Mulanje is a 650-sq-km syenite-granite "massif."
Deep clefts strike back into the mountain from rivers eroding along rock weaknesses.
Mulanje is called the "island in the sky" because it rises almost vertically from the plains below, which average 650m.
Mulanje boasts a wide variety of vegetation due to its high altitude and unique environment.
The mountain-named cedar is the most famous and majestic woodland tree.
