Mount Napak

Mount Napak is an extinct volcano in the Napak District of Uganda. Located on the northern edge of the Bokora Game Reserve,^[1] it reaches an estimated height of 2103m above sea level.^[2] An alkaline volcano which erupted carbonatite-nephelinite material during the Early Miocene on the margin of the Great Rift Valley, subsequent erosion affords volcanologists an opportunity to inspect its once internal structures. Moreover, volcanic ash deposits and paleosols preserve a range of both animal and plant fossils, significantly including numerous primate taxa.^[3]
