Sabyinyo rises to 3,669 m (12,037 ft) in Volcanoes National Park. Its name derives from the Kinyarwanda iryinyo ("tooth"): centuries of erosion have carved the crater rim into a jagged, tooth-like ridgeline, giving the peak the nickname "the Old Man's Teeth." It is the oldest and most weathered of the Virunga volcanoes, and its summit marks the point where the borders of Rwanda, Uganda and the Democratic Republic of Congo meet.
