How tall is Mount Kilimanjaro?
You're standing at the bottom of Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, craning your neck up, up, up. Somewhere way above you, hidden in clouds, is the summit. But how far up does it actually go?
The official height is 5,895 meters, or 19,341 feet if you prefer. That's taller than sixteen Empire State Buildings stacked on top of each other. But numbers that big don't mean much until you imagine climbing them.
