Mount Kilimanjaro is the highest free-standing mountain in the world. The Mountain is located in Tanzania and is referred to as the roof of Africa. It stands 19,341 feet tall (5,895 meters) and has 3 volcanic cones known as peaks which are Kibo peak, Mawenzi peak, and Shira peak.

Kibo is the highest peak among all followed by Mawenzi at 16,983 feet (5,149 meters) and then Shira at 13,000 feet (3,962 meters). Both Mawenzi and Shira are extinct volcanoes. Kibo is dormant meaning that it might erupt again though the last major eruption took place thousands of years ago.
