Oh, I would love to see this in person.

There’s a 2002 article, Snows of Kilimanjaro Immortalized by Hemingway ‘Will Have Melted by 2020’, saying the same thing. It will be a truly sad thing to read this story, as I and many others in American Short Story classes, and know that like Hemingway, that snow is also gone forever.
