Kilimanjaro, Africa's highest peak and among the largest volcanoes on earth, is a name that conjures images of mystery and power. Kilimanjaro is a giant stratovolcano that soars to an elevation of 19,335.6 feet (5,895 m) above sea level. The name is derived from *Kilima Njaro*, which means "shining mountain" in Swahili. Kilimanjaro is comprised of three separate cones. This volcano's highest and youngest cone is named Kibo. Although Kibo has not been active in modern times, steam and sulfur are still emitted, creating a menacing atmosphere for those who journey to the 1.5-mile (2.25-km) wide crater at the summit. Mawenzi (to the east) is a jagged rocky peak surrounded by steep cliffs ranging from 1,600 to 4,900 feet (0.5 - 1.5 km) high. Gullies, many of which are more than a mile deep, make much of Mawenzi practically inaccessible. In contrast, Shira (to the west) is topped by a broad, smooth plateau. *Three Faces of Kilimanjaro* captures the mystery and power of this fascinating part of our world. Beginning with the dormant yet menacing "Kibo", the piece quickly journeys to the intensity of "Mawenzi." The smooth, flowing melody of "Shira" creates a stark contrast before returning to the power of "Kibo" and "Mawenzi" completing the *Three Faces of Kilimanjaro*.
