From the text:
The volcano grew up seven to ten million years ago, producing fierce eruptions and explosions of ash, which repeatedly wiped out theforests that grew on its slopes, until it attained a tremendous height. Before Mount Elgon was eroded down, it may have been the highest mountain in Africa, higher than Kilimanjaro is today.
