I was really surprised about Ethiopia, because of the Ethiopian highlands and all. I guess the mountains there aren't tall enough.

Sure, I always picture the early Congo explorers crossing those glaciers in heavy fur coats with their ice picks.

I was sure Ethiopia had glaciers... But apparently it doesn't and Mongolia does! Guess you learn something new every day.

Venezuela recently joined this list, if I'm not mistaken, with the melting of the Humboldt Glacier/La Coruna
