Interesting fact for the day:

An ultra-prominence is a peak with a prominence of 1500m (4,921ft) or greater than its surrounding topography. There are 84 ultra-prominences in Africa.

The total ultra-prominence count for the continent is:

1 - - - 5,885m
0 - - - 4,000-5,000m
9 - - - 3,000-4,000m
22 - - 2,000-3,000m
52 - - 1,500-2,000m

The top five ultra-prominences are (note: they are not ranked by elevation):

Peak ———————- Country ———- Elevation ——— Prominence
1 Kilimanjaro ————– Tanzania ———– 5,895m/19,342ft — 5,885m/19,309ft
2 Ras Dejen (Ras Dashen) — Ethiopia ———– 4,533m/14,873ft — 3,980m/13,058ft
3 Mt Cameroon ———— Cameroon ——— 4,070m/13,354ft — 3,931m/12,898ft
