has a permanent snow and ice cap.
It is the tallest free-standing mountain on Earth.
The volcano consists of 3 volcanos.
"Kibo" is the highest and youngest cone. It has not been active in modern times, but steam and sulfur are still emitted.
This giant volcano is accompanied by about 20 other nearby volcanos.
As seen here, in 1970, it is still covered in snow and ice, and sometimes visible from passing ships in the Indian Ocean.
