Mount Roraima, The Mysterious Flat Mountain

Mount Roraima is a uniquely great place in Venezuela. This rock mountain has unique shape like a table placed in the cloud. It is 400 meters height (1312 feet). To get to the top of it, you need to climb a ladder track that provided by Venezuelan government. Alternatively, you can reach the top by rock-climbing. 

It's almost always rain there, every plant or bush up there will sweep away, and make the top unique. It's ass clean as a table surface. 

Mount Roraima became famous in 1912 after Sir Arthur Conan Doyle wrote a fiction novel called The Lost World. He climbed the mountain for expedition to find pre-historical plant species and dinosaurs believed to live there isolated and unchanged for million of years.

Conan-Doyle was inspired by English botanical expert, Everard Im Thurn who reached Mount Roraima’s top for the first time, together with Harry Perkins in 18 December 1884. They are not the first European who saw Mount Roraima. The first European who knew about it was a German explorer, Robert Schomburgk.

The route that Im Thurn and Perkins passed is now called the Im Thurn route. It is the easiest route to reach the mountain top. And after their expedition, a lot of new expedition conducted to collect and do research about flora and fauna on the top of the mountain.
