The Highest Mountain in Africa : KILIMANJARO

in #travel7 years ago


 Kilimanjaro is the highest mountain in Africa at 19,340 feet (5,895 meters), but it isn't a mountain in a traditional sense. It is a giant stratovolcano that began forming about a million years ago and is composed of many layers of hardened volcanic ash, lava, pumice and tephra — fragmental material that is the fallout from a volcanic eruption. 


  • Elevation: 19,340 feet (5,895 meters)
  • Prominence: 19,308 feet (5,885 meters); Most prominent mountain in Africa.
  • Location: Tanzania, East Africa
  • Coordinates: -3.075844 S / 37.353312 E  or 03°04′33″ S / 37°21′12″ E
  • First Ascent: Hans Meyer (Germany), Yoanas Kinyala Lauwo (Tanzania), and Ludwig Purtscheller (Austria) on October 5, 1889.
