Highest Free-Standing Mountain

Mount Kilimanjaro is not the tallest mountain in the world. That top prize belongs to Mount Everest, which is part of the Himalayas. The factor of the matter is that most mountains belong to mountain ranges. However, Mount Kilimanjaro is, in fact, a free-standing mountain. Thus, it is the highest free-standing mountain in the world. It is also the African continent’s tallest mountain. Uhuru Point is Mount Kilimanjaro’s summit, which is 19,341 feet above sea level.
