For all the rest of you folks: Mt. Everest is the highest mountain in the world.  The tallest, from base to summit happens to be Mauna Kea, the highest point in Hawaii, measured from the ocean floor.. It measures 13,796 ft above sea level plus another 16,000 ft below sea level.  That makes it: 29,796 ft total. Remember, the mountain is mostly submerged under the ocean.  Mt. Everest is only measured from sea level at 29.028 ft.

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.

Kilimanjaro is a mountain in northeastern Tanzania. It includes the highest peak in Africa at 5,895 metres. It is a giant stratovolcano, not currently active, with fumaroles that emit gas in the crater on the main summit of Kibo. Scientists concluded in 2003 that molten magma is just 400 metres below the summit crater. Although new activity is not expected, there are fears the volcano may collapse, causing a major eruption similar to Mount St. Helens. Several collapses and landslides have occurred on Kibo in the past, one creating the area known as the western breach. Although there is no recorded history of eruptions, local legend speaks of activity around 170 years ago.\n\nHowever it is not one of the highest peaks in the world.\nSee http://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0001771.html for a list of the highest peaks.

Everest although no-one can say for sure.  On 8th June 1924 it's possible that George Mallory and Andrew Irvine reached the summit, this was 29 years prior to Hilary and Norgay.\n\nMallory and Irvine died on the mountain and were last observed very close to the summit before cloud obscured them.  No-one knows if they died on their way up or if they made it to the summit and died on the way down.

A mountain is an elevation in the earth's surface. The elevation, or altitude, of a mountain is given as the height of the summit above sea level. Mountains are much bigger than hills. Most of the time they are made up elongated ranges. It is rare when a mountain stands alone.\n\nWhat is the difference between tallest and highest? Tallest: the top is the furthest away from the base. Highest: the top is the furthest away from sea level. There are three ways of measuring the height of a mountain. So which mountain is the tallest? One way to measure a mountain is by measuring from sea level. The second way is by measuring from base to peak. The third way is by measuring the distance from the center of the earth to the peak of the mountain.\n\nMt. Everest, on the Nepal-Tibet border in the Himalayas, is the highest mountain on earth. It is about 8,850 meters above sea level. height was confirmed in December 1983 during a surveillance mission by the space shuttle Columbia. Mauna Kea, or "White Mountain"a volcano of the "Big Island" of Hawaii, is the tallest mountain on earth. It measure about 10,200 meters from base to summit. Chimborazo is a volcano in the Andes of Ecuador. It measures about 6,310 meters above sea level. When height is measured from the center of the earth, Chimborazo is tallest since it is located nearly on the equator, where the earth bulges the most.
