Mount Kilimanjaro /ˌkɪlɪmənˈdʒɑːroʊ/, with its three volcanic cones, "Kibo", "Mawenzi", and "Shira", is a dormant volcano in Tanzania. It is the highest mountain in Africa, and rises approximately 4,877 metres (16,001 ft) from its base to 5,895 metres (19,341 ft) above sea level. The first recorded ascent to the summit of the mountain was by Hans Meyer and Ludwig Purtscheller in 1889. The mountain is part of the Kilimanjaro National Park and is a major climbing destination. The mountain has been the subject of many scientific studies because of its shrinking glaciers.
Kilimanjaro rises approximately 4,877 metres (16,001 ft) from its southern base in the plains near the municipality of Moshi to its summit height of 5,895 metres (19,341 ft). Kilimanjaro is the highest volcano outside South America.
Kilimanjaro is a large stratovolcano and is composed of three distinct volcanic cones: Kibo, the highest; Mawenzi at 5,149 metres (16,893 ft); and Shira, the shortest at 4,005 metres (13,140 ft). Mawenzi and Shira are extinct, while Kibo is dormant and could erupt again.

Look, look into my eyes
Outside a sudden footsteps
Take control, control of movement
Wait, I’m still hoping, hoping
I’m still hoping
Like a second head
Is it the first one you started out with
Seen, seen from the stars
I know the banisters leaking
That I can breath freely, that I can breath freely
I wait, oh I wait for a sign, hoping and praying
Hoping it’s mine
Like a second head
Is it the first one you started out with
Oh you can see much more, but can you learn
Don’t throw anything
I’m scratching my back while you’re scratching the
surface
Beware, beware of false promises
You must be wary of people, the knives in their backs
Like a second head
Is it the first one you started out with
Waiters and callers
Trapped by the door, looking for something
That I didn’t come for
Decisions, decisions, it’s only a sign
But what and who is this, well next time
Like a second head
Is it the first one you started out with
