Mount Emin

Mount Emin is the second-highest mountain in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It is situated along the Ugandan border. It is the third highest mountain in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and is part of the six-mountain Ruwenzori range. The mountain was named after Mohammed Emin Pasha, a Prussian doctor who is said to have given scientific and geographical knowledge about Central Africa while exploring the country. The mountain's ridges are extremely narrow and rocky. People from Zaire and Mutsori live on the mountain's lower plain and serve as guides through it.

At 4,798 meters, it is the fourth highest peak in the Ruwenzori Range and the sixth highest peak in Africa. It is a part of the Ruwenzori Mountains National Park, which was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1994.

It is located to the north of the triangle formed by the Stanley, Speke, and Baker mountains. In 1906, Luis Amadeo de Saboya climbed this mountain 1906, becoming the first MontaVista to reach the summit. He had previously scaled the other peaks of the Ruwenzori Mountains.
