SNOW FALLS ON MT KINABALU, MALAYSIA FOR FIRST TIME SINCE 1993
Climbers on Mount Kinabalu were given a surprise Monday when rare snow settled over Southeast Asia’s tallest peak. It was like a miracle for the climbers, reports Malaysia Trend.

Hajiri Sulumin, a Via Ferrata trainer, recorded footage of the event that was widely shared online. In the video, Sulumin can be heard exclaiming: “Salji turun! Salji turun! Opurak!” (Snow is falling! Snow is falling! It is white!)

Before Monday, snow had been noted on the mountain on just two previous occasions, in 1993 and 1975 — it is an incredibly rare phenomenon.

“Those who witnessed the snow can consider themselves lucky,” said Sabah Parks Manager, Justinus Guntabid.
