Located in [[Tanzania]], near the border of [[Kenya]], '''Mount Kilimanjaro''' is one of the [[Earth]]'s most famous mountains, certainly the most famous African mountain. It is the tallest mountain in the African continent, and the tallest free-standing mountain in the world, at approximately 5,895 meters (19,341 feet), although it is actually a strato-volcanic. Its name translates roughly from Swahili into "White Hill." | |||

By the 26th Century this facility has fallen into disrepair and is overgrown in jungle after more than a century of neglect.<ref>http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&cid=13287</ref> | ||
