An aerial view of
Mount Kilimanjaro
, the
highest mountain
in Africa at 5,895 metres (19,341 ft)
above sea level
. Kilimanjaro is a giant
stratovolcano
that began forming a million years ago, when
lava
spilled from the
Rift Valley
zone. Two of its three peaks are extinct while Kibo (the highest peak) is dormant and could erupt again.
