What about Mount Shimbris is that bigger or smaller because there's a reported height on Wiki but not confirmed. They're part of the same chain.

Mount Shimbiris and Suraad that are both near Erigavo are bigger but have no ultra prominent peaks

In Africa there are 84 ultra peaks, Somalia only has one.

Is Karkoor on the map the same you're referring to

Who exactly measured them? Are they measured by satalites? Most of the peaks are unexplored.

1500m prominence is still pretty crazy when you think about it.

For those who don't understand why shimbiris is not included. It's due to geographical prominence and elevation. Elevation is measure from sea level. Where as prominence is measure from the base of the peak to the lowest point nearby. A mountain can have an elevation of 3000m aboce sea level and have a prominence of 100m.

For those who played skyrim. The highest mountain in terms of prominence is 700m, which is not that big. To put that into perspective, the mountain mentioned in this thread is over twice the size of that.

They measure with satellites, it's how they know if a mountain has shrunk or not.

Mousa Ali mountain in Djibouti has a prominent peak of 1608m, the highest elevation is 2021m above sea level.

Thanks for sharing, it's crazy how big it is when you think about it. The tallest mountain in GTA 5 is also around 700-800m and it looks huge.

Yeah. I can't wait to climb those peaks once isis is smoked out. I wonder if the locals have explored every peak.

They need to be smoked ASAP so we can enjoy our mountains lol.

They won't be defeated as long as we are dependant on the west and their arms embargo. We need someone like russia to come in and bomb the ones in the mountains. At least they are far away from civilians unlike in the south, which is where we will have to get creative. Above all else none of this will happen until somalis realise they are one race, one ppl with one culture.

Right now the west has their own agenda and know if somalia develops in the next 20 yrs they will no longer be able to control us. We have to unite ourselves and come to an understanding that each region wants fair representation or we will be stuck like this while our enemies don't even have to fire a single shot.

We either progress now or never.
