Shira is one of the of the three peaks of Kilimanjaro. It is an ancient caldera, like Crater Lake, but the depression of the caldera was filled with new flows from the eruption of Kibo, the highest peak in the Kilimanjaro massif. Thus, the Shira Plateau is a gently sloped plane surrounded by a low ring of mountains.
