An aerial view across the summit plateau of Kilimanjaro looks west towards Meru stratovolcano in the distance.  The nested craters in the center are the youngest features of the volcano.  They cut a summit ash cone that has grown within a 2.4 x 3.6 caldera, whose rim is seen at the left. Copyrighted photo by Katia and Maurice Krafft, 1977.
