OUTLINE MAP OF RUANDA, "THU LAND OF GIANTS AND PYGMILS 
North of Ruanda rise eight gigantic volcanoes, which bear testimony to the mighty sub- 
terranean forces concealed beneath. Namlagira and Ninagongo are still active, and are the 
most interesting of this remarkable group. Dauntlessly their colossal forms tower up to the 
skies, 14,500 feet above sea-level, and not infrequently one sees the dazzling snow on their 
highest peaks gleaming under the tropical sun, only 100 miles from the Equator.
