I know exactly that Mt Everest is the highest mountain in the world.  Now tell me, which position is Mt Kilimanjaro in the world? Is it true that Mount Kilimanjaro is in number three??

Kilimanjaro carries a few titles of "highest" according to the pages...  One is highest in Africa, one as highest active volcano, and another as highest free-standing peak (no mountain range like Himilayas).  Samahani, can't find a listing that goes far enough down for a rank in peak height in the world; it's after 50 at least I think!\n\nFrom first source:  Rising to a height of 5, 985 meters, (19,340 feet) Mt. Kilimanjaro is the highest peak in Africa, arguably the world's highest volcano and the highest freestanding mountain in the world. It also takes its place as one of the 'Seven Summits', a holy grail for climbers consisting of the highest peaks in each of the seven continents. \n\nFrom second source:  Africa's tallest mountain (der höchste Berg Afrikas) was long thought to be nothing but a legend. After all, how could there be a snow-capped peak just three degrees south of the equator? But German-speaking explorers were the first Europeans to ever see and climb Kilimanjaro—and establish the mountain's existence.\nKilimanjaro is also the world's highest mountain that can be climbed by hiking (walking), but the lower, more jagged Mawensi volcanic peak (17,564 ft) was not climbed until 1912 and requires mountaineering experience.

Hawaii.. the whole island is a volcano.. must of which is undersea.. now if you add that to the over all height. Hawaii is much taller then Mt. Everest.\n\nMauna Kea is the tallest mountain on earth!

Ben Nevis in Scotland (this is also the UK's highest peak). Snowdonia in Wales, Scafell Pike in England and the, curiously named, Slieve Donard in Northern Ireland.\n\nOther ones of note are Ben Macdhui and Braeriach (Scotland), Garnedd Ugain(Wales) and Hellvellyn (England).Most of the UK's highest points, though, are in Scotland.

The argument is irrelevant.  For a true seeker of truth and enlightenment, where you are physically in the world does not (or at least, should not) matter.  If you are determined to find the answers, then they will come...regardless of physical location or environment.  Why should physical location be an issue to the determined mind?

Mount Averest in Nepal/China is the highest peak in South-east Asia and the world at 29,035 ft or 8,850 meter.\n\nIt is not a local name but international usage, named after the British explorer, Sir Averest who discovered it.

Mount Everest\n\nIt is one of the seven wonders of the natural world. Not surprisingly the highest point on the earth's surface is located there on the border of Nepal and China. Although the exact height of the mountain have been disputed by surveyors for many years the most recent measurement revealed the mountain to stand at 8850 meters, nearly 5.5 miles. The adventure that led to this result took place in May 1999. Bill Crouse and his crew set an expedition to find the height of this point. Six months later they returned and claimed to have found the exact measurement of the highest point on earth's surface.\nMount Everest is the highest peak in the Himalayan mountain range. People were unaware that it was the tallest mountain in the world until 1856. George Everest of India made the discovery. Plate tectonics show that the height of Everest is still increasing at a steady rate of approximately one centimeter (0.394 inch) per year.\n\nMount Everest is over 8000 m above sea level. Winds travel at 161 kilometers per hour; the windchill is often 96 degrees Celsius below zero. At such high altitudes as Everest, less oxygen is able to enter the lungs, making it difficult to breathe. The amount of oxygen usable for breathing is determined by pressure in the atmosphere. The greater the atmospheric pressure the closer the oxygen molecules. At high altitudes, atmospheric pressure decreases, and air molecules are further separated. Therefore there is less oxygen that is able to enter the lungs.\n\nThough most people have recognized the highest point at Mount Everest, Mount Chimborazo located in the city of Rimobamba, Ecuador may also be considered as the highest point on earth. Although it is not as well known as Mount Everest, standing at 6310 meters it is also quite remarkable. Mount Chimborazo can be regarded as the highest point on earth because the planet is widest at the equator. The summit of Mount Chimborazo is then 3219 m further from the center of the earth than Mount Everest, making it what some consider the highest point. On the summit of Mount Chimborazo people will weigh less than any other location on earth.\n\nAs the highest point on the earth's surface, Everest has become the ultimate challenge for any determined high altitude climber. A group led by George Mallory first attempted it in 1921, however the summit was not reached until 1953 when Sir Edmand Hillary and Sherpa Tenzing Norgay of New Zealand survived the challenging task. Edward Whymper of Britain was the first man to successfully reach the summit of Mount Chimborazo in 1880.\n\nOne of the highest places you can take your car is to Ojos del Salado in Chile. This is the world's tallest volcano at about 22,560 feet. If you live in the U.S. and want some place closer to home, try Colorado. It's many tall moutain peaks make for good high altitude driving.\n\n"And then there’s the Volkswagen exec, who stands up and announces that his company now holds the world record for highest altitude attained by a stock vehicle. Rainer Zietlow, some guy who claims he’s attained fame by taking stock vehicles to extremely high altitudes, piloted a stock Toureg with the base 3.2L V6 to the peak of Chiles Ojos del Salado, the worlds tallest volcano. Guiness marks the record altitude at 19,950 feet. Perhaps VW should tag its Toureg with the title of “Best Luxury SUV above sea-level”."\n\nThe other claim to the highest road (therefore the highest place accesible by car) on Earth is the Manali-Leh route (300 miles) just north of Lahore in the Indian Himalayan mountains.\n\nIt crosses four high passes which range in height from 14,000 to 18,000 feet.\n\nAt Leh, the Khardung La, claims to be the highest point.\n\nThe link below is to a very old army map showing some of the route.\nhttp://www.myhimalayas.com

It is not an acronym. It is a word that means the highest point, or the highest acheivment.

They show the people with the highest points, in descending order.  No, not everyone is on it, only those who are way up there in points, :-).

The summit of Volcán Chimborazo in the Andes of Ecuador is the farthest point on the Earth's surface from the Earth's center of mass at 6,384,404 meters (3,967.085 miles).

Ojos del Salado is a stratovolcano in the Andes on the border of Argentina-Chile. It is the highest active volcano on Earth, the second highest mountain in the Western Hemisphere and the highest in Chile. It is located about 600 km north of Aconcagua (6962 m), the highest mountain in the Western Hemisphere.\n\nDue to its location near the Atacama desert, the mountain has very dry conditions with snow only remaining on the peak during winter. The ascent is mostly a hike except for the final section to the summit which is a difficult scramble that may require ropes.\n\nAlthough there have been no recorded eruptions, active fumaroles can be found around the summit crater. It is therefore classified as an active volcano.\n\nThe first ascent was made in 1937 by Jan Alfred Szczepański and Justyn Wojsznis, members of Polish andinist expedition.\n\nElevation\nThere are slight variations in the given elevation. The elevation given on this page is the official Chilean elevation. Recent hand held GPS surveys put it at 6900-6905m. There have been no high precision surveys. Contrary to widely reproduced claims made by Argentine authorities in 1994, which still appear in some maps, publications and websites, Ojos del Salado is about 100m higher that nearby Monte Pissis (6795m).

The highest scoring match was in the 1974 World Cup, when Italy defeated Yugoslavia 10-9.\n\nIf you mean highest in terms of height, then the stadium with the highest altitude is in La Paz, Bolivia, with an altitude of more than 3,000m. It's only used during preliminary phase matches though, unless Bolivia somehow gets to host a World Cup tournament. And during home games, the Bolivians find it much easier to play on home turf because they are accustomed to playing at high altitudes, whereas their opponents are not, which explains why they regularly win home matches.\n\nAs for Marachana Stadium, it's situated in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Mount Everest is the highest point on Earth, as measured by the height of its summit above sea level. The mountain, which is part of the Himalaya range in High Asia, is located on the border between Nepal and Tibet.\n\nIn Nepal, the mountain is called Sagarmatha (सगरमाथा, Sanskrit for "Goddess of the Sky"); this name was invented in the early 1960s (by Baburam Acharya) when the Nepalese government realized that Mount Everest had no Nepalese name. This was because the mountain was not known and named in ethnic Nepal (the Kathmandu valley and surrounding areas). The Sherpa/Tibetan name Chomolangma was not acceptable, as it would have been against the idea of unification (Nepalization) of the country. However, the ancient name for the mountain is Devgiri (in Sanskrit, it means "holy mountain") or Devadurga (the English pronounced it as deodungha in the 1800s); please refer to the Harrapan archaeology site for more on the history behind the name. In Tibetan it is Chomolungma or Qomolangma (ཇོ་མོ་གླང་མ) ("Mother of the Universe"), or in Chinese: 珠穆朗瑪峰 (pinyin: Zhūmùlǎngmǎ Fēng) or 聖母峰 (Shèngmǔ Fēng).\n\nThe mountain was given its English name in 1865 by Andrew Waugh, the British surveyor-general of India.
