Topographic Architecture of Mount Kilimanjaro
Mount Kilimanjaro is the highest mountain in Africa, the highest free-standing mountain in the world, and one of the Seven Summits, soaring to 5,895 metres (19,341 ft) above the plains of northeastern Tanzania. Consisting of three distinct volcanic cones—Kibo, Mawenzi (5,149 m), and Shira (4,005 m)—its summit at Uhuru Peak was first reached on October 6, 1889, by German geographer Hans Meyer, Austrian alpine pioneer Ludwig Purtscheller, and local Chagga mountain scout Yohani Lauwo.
