Fun fact. Mount Cameroon was possibly seen by an explorer from Carthage named Hanno the Navigator who lived in the 400s BC.

He captured some "hairy and savage people" who he called Gorillai, but they turned out to be too savage to control so he killed them and skinned them. The skins were kept in the Temple of Juno in Carthage until the city was destroyed by Rome.

It's unknown whether the Gorillai he captured were the gorillas known today, which were not scientifically described until 1847 AD.

Some say he only made it to Sierra Leone, or etc so mayn't've seen the mountain. Also, yes, the word gorilla was taken from that Greek word when gorillas were described in the 1840s. It came to Greek via Punic, which was from then, according to him, some African language he didn't specify.

It's amazing that the country with the most active volcanoes in the world doesn't register on this list.

The Klyuchevskoy volcano, the highest in Russia (most likely the one listed here) is located in Kamchatka in the Asian part of Russia, not European.

I think Ethiopia should be on here, The Bale Mountains top out at around 14,000 feet. They are volcanic in origin, though the volcanoes of the range are extinct.

The highest volcano in Rwanda, Mount Karisimbi, is along the Rwanda/Democratic Republic of the Congo border and should be counted towards DRotC as well, at the very least as a slash answer where both countries are accepted for that one spot.
