Volcanic Activity
Shira’s volcanic activity commenced more than 2.5 million years into the past, enjoying a tumultuously eruptive era that went on for around 600,000 years. In the modern era, Shira’s sizeable plateau goes on for more than 12,500 feet and is encircled by the leftover caldera, which is a rimmed outline often seen in a volcanic mountain. This caldera eroded away throughout the thousands of years of its existence.

Sleeping Giant
Closer to our time was the Kibo and Mawenzi volcanic activity, which went down around one million years into the past. These two peaks share a plateau, called the Saddle, located 14,400 feet above sea level. The totality of Kilimanjaro’s fierce peaks are detailed with many other extraordinary features formed by erosion from rain and wind, such as ridges and pinnacles.
