The "Mt. Mauna Kea" is the tallest mountain under the seas. Even though Mount Everest is the tallest mountain on land, Mauna Kea, a mountain in the sea near Hawaii, is taller. However, most of Mauna Kea is under the sea. It is the tallest mountain in the world when measured from base to peak, its base being some 19,678 feet (5998 m) under the surface of the Pacific Ocean, which would bring its total height to 33,474 feet.♥

Mauna Kea is a dormant volcano in the Hawaiian Islands, one of five volcanic peaks that together form the island of Hawaii. It is the tallest mountain in the world when measured from base to peak, its base being some 19,678 feet (5998 m) under the surface of the Pacific Ocean, which would bring its total height to 33,474 feet. In Hawaiian, mauna kea means "white mountain", a reference to the fact that it is regularly snow- or frost-capped during the northern hemisphere winter. Its highest point, Puu Wekiu (one of numerous cinder cones on the summit), is the highest point in the state of Hawaii at 13,796 feet (4,205 m).
Mauna Loa is an active shield volcano in the Hawaiian Islands, one of five volcanoes that form the Island of Hawaii. It is Earth's largest mountain, with a volume estimated at approximately 18,000 cubic miles (75,000 km³), although its peak is about 36 m (120 ft) lower than that of its neighbor, Mauna Kea. In Hawaiian, mauna loa means "long mountain". Lava erupted from Mauna Loa is very fluid, and the volcano has extremely shallow slopes as a result.

Mount Filaminjaro or Philaminjaro named after the brave hunter explorer photography Phil Crowley who climbed the mountain wearing lead boots and a cylindrical tank filled with helium and hyrdogen gases. The Hawaii island was named after him most recently in August of 2006 and will be documented in National geographic as well as the Guiness Book of World records.

I am not sure, but is Hawaii a mountain? I thought it was an island,
A very wide, flat and all emcompassing island.
Do you mean a mountain in which its base is submerged in the ocean, or sea?
