A woman went on an expedition up Mount Kenya after her great-uncle s plane was finally discovered 79 years since it crashed during WWII.
Monet Izabeth, from Massachusetts, said she was told about the discovery via an out of the blue Facebook message.
She was given permission to join a British Army trek up the mountain, which at 5,199m is the second-highest in Africa after Kilimanjaro.
Izabeth is now sharing her incredible real-life Indiana Jones adventure online.
Speaking in a series of TikTok clips detailing the trip, she said: I went up with the British Army up Mount Kenya on an expedition to rediscover my uncle s long lost plane crash from WWII. He went MIA. No one knew what happened to him.
