The expedition sets out for its final objective; Ras Degen, 15,158 feet above sea level. The peaks of the High Simien are one of teh world's great natural wonders. The endangered Walia Ibex, filmed for the first time, is found here and nowhere else in the world. The Simien fox and Gelada baboon are other unique Ethiopian highland mammals. Within a few years however, Simien will be ruined unless urgent action is taken soon.
