Everest, Mount, mountain peak in the Himalayas of southern Asia, considered the highest mountain in the world. Mount Everest is situated at the edge of the Tibetan Plateau (Qing Zang Gaoyuan), on the border between Nepal and Tibet.\nThe mountain was named for Sir George Everest, a British military engineer who served as surveyor general of India from 1829 to 1843, during which time the peak was surveyed. Everest was the first person to record the location and height of the mountain, then known as Peak XV.

Any of them, Mt. Everest is the obvious answer.  What about Mt. Washington in New Hampshie (world's highest wind speeds) or The Andes (amazing views)

Lesbos (Greek: Λέσβος - Lésvos see also List of traditional Greek place names) is a Greek island located in the northeastern Aegean Sea; its inhabitants are called Lesvioi. Lesbos is part of the Lesbos Prefecture, the third largest Greek island and the seventh largest in the Mediterranean. It has an area of 1630 km² (630 square miles) with 320 kilometres (230 miles) of coastline. Its population is approximately 90,000 about a third of which live in the capital city, Mytilene, located in the southeastern part of the island. The remaining population is distributed in small towns and villages. The largest towns are Kalloni, Plomari, Ayassos, Eressos, and Molyvos, the ancient Mythymna. Mytilene was founded in the 11th century BCE by the family Penthilidae who arrived from Thessaly in mainland Greece and ruled until the popular revolt (590-580 BCE) led by Pittacus .\n\nThe modern meaning of the word "lesbian" is derived from the Victorian interpretation of the poems of Sappho whose poetry was taken to mean sexual rather than emotional or Platonic love between her and her charges at her girl's finishing school [citation needed]. (This was at least partially a misinterpretation: the Victorians likely invented the idea of Sappho running a girls' finishing school, although Sappho may have had homosexual interests.) Because of this association, Lesbos and especially the town of Eressos, the birthplace of Sappho, are visited frequently by lesbian tourists.

I always like to say the Mauna Loa volcano, which from base to peak is 1-2,000 feet higher than Mt. Everest. 16,000 ft. of it is below sea level though hehe. \n\nThe wording of the question prolly means Everest is a better answer but, everyone else already answered Everest anyways hehe.

I've seen the mountain ranges in the Alps, the Himalayas, the Andes, and the mountains; Mt Kinabalu (highest mountain in South East Asia), several mountains in Taiwan, East Turkestan and Vietnam.\n\nThe Fishtail mountain (Macchapucchre) in Nepal is the most beautiful of them all.

Olympus Mons on Mars.  Not sure of the exact height but close to 27 kilometres (about 88,600 feet)!   This is only in "our" solar system, but hey, thats got to be one of the tallest.

Mauna Kea, a dormant volcano, is one of the highest island mountains in the world. Its is located on the main island of Hawaii along with its slightly smaller neighboring mountain, Mauna Loa (13,667 ft.). If Mauna Kea's height is measured from its base (18,000 feet below sea level), it surpasses even Mount Everest, and is the world's highest mountain (31,796 ft.). Although there is no historical record of Mauna Kea's eruption, geologic evidence suggests that the volcano last erupted around 1650, and eruptions are present in traditional Hawaiian folklore. According to legend, Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa were the domains of two opposing goddesses, Poliahu and Pele respectively. Earthquakes and volcanic eruptions were produced from their violent rivalry.\n\n\n------------------\n\nRising gradually to more than 4 km above sea level, Mauna Loa is the largest volcano on our planet. Its long submarine flanks descend to the sea floor an additional 5 km, and the sea floor in turn is depressed by Mauna Loa's great mass another 8 km. This makes the volcano's summit about 17 km (56,000 ft) above its base! The enormous volcano covers half of the Island of Hawai`i and by itself amounts to about 85 percent of all the other Hawaiian Islands combined.

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

No, Mont Blanc is not the highest peak in Europe. Mt. Elbrus in Russia is. Mont Blanc is the highest peak in the Alps, but it's not even among Europe's top 5.\n\nThere isn't a trail to the summit, but it isn't a super technical climb either. You do need some basic mountaineering experience and competency with an ice axe, crampons, and rope.  There are some long glacier climbs and short rock climbs. If you have no mountaineering experience, some companies will offer week long instructional courses ending in a climb of the mountain (if you have enough money!). It certainly isn't Everest. From a technical standpoint, it is probably a little easier than the Grand Teton in Wyoming. The biggest hurdles on Mont Blanc are the altitude (spending extra time acclimatizing is a MUST) and the weather.

More in-depth:\n\n1) Great Pyramid of Khufu (Egypt) \nthe largest of the three at 450 feet high (originally 482 when built); contains 2.3 million blocks each weighing 2.5 tons; completed 2680BC; was the highest building in the world until the 19th century; \n\n2) Hanging Gardens of Babylon (Iraq) \nbuilt around 600BC by Nebuchadnezzar to appease Queen Amuhia; Amuhia was married to Neb to form an alliance between the Babylonians and the Medians; she was homesick because Babylon was flat and dry and she was from a green mountainous region, had dimensions of 100 by 150 feet and were terraces that rose from 75 to 300 feet; had a mechanism to raise water to each of the terraces \n\n3) Statue of Zeus (Jupiter) at Olympia (Greece) \nbuilt by Phidias in 5th century BC; was placed in a temple built to honor Zeus who was the reason for the ancient olympic games (Zeus was the king of the Gods); statue was 22-feet wide and 40-feet high statue and made of ivory and gold; moved to Olympia until the olympic games were abolished by Emperor Theodosius I of Rome since he was Christian and did not believe in pagan games (since the olympics honored Zeus, a pagan God); moved to Constantinople (Turkey) after 255AD and was destroyed by fire in 462AD \n\n4) Temple of Artemis (Diana) at Ephesus (Turkey) \nbegun in 350BC and took about 60 to 120 years to complete; the temple had 36 60-foot high Ionic columns and was completely made of marble; destroyed during a raid by the Goths in 262 A.D; was not rebuilt afterwards since Christianity took hold and pagan temples were not in favor \n\n5) Mausoleum at Halicarnassus (Turkey) \nbegun in 353BC; built by Queen Artemisia over grief of the death of her husband who was also her brother (common practice for royalty to wed within the family at the time)Mausolus; his name led to modern day term mausoleum for all stately tombs throughout the world; destroyed by series of earthquakes and only the foundation was left by 1404AD \n\n6) Colossus at Rhodes (Greece) \nbegun in 304BC and took 12 years to complete; bronze statue of the God Helios, who was patron God of Rhodes; built to celebrate their victory and freedom against an invasion force larger than the population of Rhodes itself; was 110 feet tall (as tall as the Statue of Liberty without the pedestal) on a 50 foot pedestal; destroyed by earthquake just 57 years after completion; peices of fallen statue laid there until 7th century AD when Arab conquerers took it apart for scrap metal; it is said it took 900 camels to take away the statue \n\n7) Pharos Lighthouse of Alexandria (Egypt) \nbuilt in 290BC since the city needed a signal for its busy port; completed 20 years later; 2nd tallest building in the world at 450 feet (see wonder 1); was built on the island of Pharos; Pharos is the root word for "lighthouse" in Spanish, French, Italian, and Romanian; it was three stages with the first stage being 200 feet high, and it was possibly a tourist destination since it was one of the highest views possible on a man-made building in the ancient world and food was served at this observation level, possibly for tourists; stood for over 1,500 years, but was damaged by earthquakes in 365 and 1303AD and finally fell in 1326AD \n\nAll of these were built by 270BC and where in the Mediterranean Sea... The reason was that this list was compiled by ancient Greek historians so they all included objects/structures around the Mediterrean Sea since that was the "known" world at the time... That is why Stonehenge, Great Wall of China, and other ancient objects/structures were left off the list...
