In eastern Africa, a volcano rises more than 19,000 feet into the sky. It’s Mount Kilimanjaro (kil-uh-muhn-JAHR-oh), one of the world’s tallest mountains. Every year, thousands of people try to climb to the top. Fewer than half succeed.
Montannah Kenney of Texas beat the odds. She climbed the mountain with her mom last year, when she was just 7! She was one of the youngest climbers ever to reach the peak.
“It felt great to reach my goal,” Montannah says.
