Ethiopia's World Heritage Site, Simien Mountains National Park

#TravelRecords Simien National Park, located in the northern Ethiopian plateau, is known as the "ceiling of Africa" ​​and is home to deep valleys and rocky mountains, including Mount Ras Dashen, which is 4,620 meters above sea level. Many rare animals such as gelada baboons and Simien foxes can be seen here, and animals such as the Walia Ibex, which are "witnesses to the history of the earth," also live here. Simien National Park is a vast park of 220 square kilometers in the Amhara region of northern Ethiopia. Millions of years of erosion have carved the earth, creating magnificent landscapes such as sharp rocky mountains, deep valleys, and cliffs with an altitude of 1,500 meters. The area also includes the fourth highest mountain in Africa, including Mount Ras Dashen (4,620 meters above sea level), the highest peak in Ethiopia. In 1996, it was placed on the List of World Heritage in Danger due to road construction plans and poaching, but the government's efforts removed it in 2007. #TravelingInEthiopia #TravelingInAfrica
