What is the highest peek in the world and how tall is it?

If you're thinking of the highest peak, then yes it is Mt. Everest, but as many do not know, the island of Hawaii is actually a mountain submerged in water, whose height surpasses that of Mt. Everest.

The best is sitting in your time machine, fly to the future and discretely check your height.\n\nBut seriously, look at these articles, describing how future height can be estimated:\nhttp://www.darpa.mil/sto/space/pdf/Marino_KASSPER_03.pdf\nhttp://www.agu.org/pubs/crossref/2006/2005RS003405.shtml

From what we've seen so far, Mars, with Olympus Mons. \n\nThe central edifice stands 27 kilometres (about 88,600 feet) high over its base (about three times the height of Mount Everest above sea level and 2.6 times the height of Mauna Kea above its base); it reaches 25 km (15 miles) above the mean surface level of Mars.

Hello, the Base camp is at 5300 meters. You then have 3550 meters to climb to go to the top (8848 M to be exact).

love to know where that is !!!!!

The town of Gateshead is situated on a hill.\n\nWindy Nook appears to be the highest point in the area, with a maximum height above mean sea level of 533 feet (162.5 metres) down to 230 feet or so (71.6 metres).\n\nThe land then slopes down towards Gateshead itself (to the North) with a minimum of 16 feet above mean sea level in the river Tyne.

Radhanath Sikdar, an Indian mathematician and surveyor from Bengal, was the first to identify Everest as the world's highest peak in 1852, using trigonometric calculations based on measurements made with theodolites from 240 km (150 miles) away in India. Before it was surveyed and named, it was known as Peak XV to the survey team.\n\nThe mountain is approximately 8,848 m (29,028 feet) high, although there is some variation in the measurements. The mountain K2 comes in second at 8,611 m (28,251 feet) high. On May 22, 2005, the People's Republic of China's Everest Expedition Team ascended to the top of the mountain. After several months' complicated measurement and calculation, on October 9, 2005, the PRC's State Bureau of Surveying and Mapping officially announced the height of Everest is 8,844.43 m ± 0.21 m (29,017.16 ± 0.69 ft). They claimed it was the most accurate measurement to date.[3]. But this new height is based on the actual highest point of rock and not on the snow and ice that sits on top of that rock on the summit, so, in keeping with the practice used on Mont Blanc and Khan Tangiri Shyngy, it is not shown here. The Chinese also measured a snow/ice depth of 3.5 m [4], which implies agreement with a net elevation of 8,848 m. But in reality the snow and ice thickness varies, making a definitive height of the snow cap, and hence the precise height attained by summiteers without sophisticated GPS, impossible to determine.\n\nThe first measurement was with theodolites in 1856. Due to lack of access to Nepal at the time, it was measured from a distance. It was found to be exactly 29,000 feet (8,839 m), but declared to be 29,002 feet (8,840 m) high. The arbitrary addition of 2 feet (0.6 m) was to avoid the impression that an exact height of 29,000 feet was nothing more than a rounded estimate.\n\nThe elevation of 8,848 m (29,028 ft) was first determined by an Indian survey in 1955, made closer to the mountain, also using theodolites. It was subsequently reaffirmed by a 1975 Chinese measurement [5]. In both cases the snow cap, not the rock head, was measured. In May 1999 an American Everest Expedition, directed by Bradford Washburn, anchored a GPS unit into the highest bedrock. A rock head elevation of 8,850 m (29,035 feet), and a snow/ice elevation 1 m (3 ft) higher, were obtained via this device [6]. Nepal, however, did not officially recognize this survey, and the discrepancy with the above mentioned 2005 Chinese survey is significantly greater than the surveys' claimed accuracy.\n\nIt is thought that the plate tectonics of the area are adding to the height and moving the summit north-eastwards. Two accounts, [7], [8] suggest the rates of change are 4 mm per year (upwards) 3-6 mm per year (northeastwards), but this account[9] mentions more lateral movement (27 mm), and even shrinkage has been mooted [10].\n\nEverest is the mountain whose summit attains the greatest distance above sea level. Two other mountains are sometimes claimed as alternative "highest mountains on Earth". Mauna Kea in Hawaii is highest when measured from its base; it rises over 9 km (5.6 mi) when measured from its base on the mid-ocean floor, but only attains 4,170 m (13,681 ft) above sea level. The summit of Chimborazo in Ecuador is 2,168 m (7,113 ft) farther from the Earth's centre (6,384.4 km or 3,967.1 mi) than that of Everest (6,382.3 km or 3,965.8 mi), because the Earth bulges at the Equator. However, Chimborazo attains a height of 6,267 m (20,561 ft) above sea level, and by this criterion it is not even the highest peak of the Andes.\n\nThe deepest spot in the ocean is deeper than Everest is high: the Challenger Deep, located in the Mariana Trench, is so deep that if Everest were to be placed into it there would be more than 2 km (1.25 mi) of water covering it.\n\nThe Mount Everest region, and the Himalayas in general, are thought to be suffering ice-melt due to global warming.
