Mount Lico, a mountain in northern Mozambique, Africa, stands 1,100 meters high with sheer cliffs reaching 700 meters. This makes Mount Lico extremely difficult for humans to climb. Who would want to climb a mountain that's 1,100 meters high when you could climb something higher but easier?
Mount Lico supports the growth of old-growth rainforest on its summit:
The forest has actually been untouched by humans. In 2018, a team of researchers and expert mountain climbers visited the forest (detected by Google Earth for scientific advancement) for exploration*. They discovered small animals that may or may not have been known to science (including a new butterfly species). Curiously, they noticed mysterious clay pots near a small stream located at the top of the mountain, and they assumed they were placed there for religious ceremonies. The most convincing perception of all the news about the Mount Lico rainforest is that it is untouched, inaccessible, and fortunately undisturbed for a very long time.
