Mount Everest is the highest point on Earth as measured by the height of its summit above sea level - 8,848 meters (29,028 feet). It is part of the Himalaya range in High Asia, and is located on the border between Nepal and China.
But if you count the highest mountain from its base to its summit, the answer is Mauna Loa in Hawaii (most is under water, but its total height is 30,080 ft (9,170 m).

On the Nepal-Tibet border looms the world's highest peak, Mt. Everest (29,035 ft.), along the Himalayan range. However, some geographers claim that the K-2 mountain in the Karakoram Range near the Kashmir-Pakistan border is higher by 134 feet (29,169 ft.).
