Kibo [mountain] - Kibo

Japanese: キボ[山] - きぼ
Kibo [mountain] - Kibo

...Kilima is said to mean "mountain" and Njaro means "shining." From west to east, the three mountains are Shira (4,002m), Kibo (5,895m), and Mawenzi (5,270m). Shira, the oldest, has been eroded to the point that it no longer retains its original volcanic form, but Kibo, where fumarolic activity can still be seen, has a magnificent multi-layered caldera at its summit.

*Some of the terminology explanations that mention "Kibo [Mountain]" are listed below.
