Mt. Kilimanjaro Formation/Genesis, Kilimanjaro is a giant stratovolcano reaching an elevation of 19,335.6 ft. (5,895 m). Is one of the largest volcanoes ever to burst through the earth’s crust. Africa's tallest mountain, with its white peak, is one of the most instantly recognizable sights in the world. But as this aerial photograph shows, Kilimanjaro's trademark snowy cap, at 5,895 meters (19,340ft), is now all but gone - 15 years before scientists predicted it would melt through global warming. The latest UN reposts suggest that the Kilimanjaro glacier will melt in the year 2030. 

Kilimanjaro is a dormant, but not extinct Volcano. Ominous rumbles can sometimes be heard and gases emerge from the fume holes in the crater. Although it is just three degrees south of the Equator, the peaks of both Kibo and Mawenzi have permanent caps of Snow and Ice.
