Mount Kilimanjaro in northern Tanzania is the highest "freestanding" mountain! Check an encyl... At the summit, there is a sign posted by the Tanzanian government. The sign (printed in English only) reads "Congratulations! You are now at Uhuru Peak, Tanzania, 5,895 m. AMSL. Africa's Highest Point. World's Highest Free-Standing Mountain. One of World's Largest Volcanos. Welcome." The sign is covered in travel stickers from past trekkers who have left their mark on the top of the peak. Near this famous sign is a box containing a log that many climbers have signed. Due to the mountain's equatorial location as well as its high elevation, climbers can experience almost every climate type on earth during the journey to the top.

Mt. Everest is the highest peak only above sea level. If you want the 2nd highest peak above sea level, its Mt. K2 or Mt. Godwin Austin, as itscommonly called.
But if you want the highest mountain peak in the world considering its height below sea level as well, then its Mt. Mauna Lea in Hawaii, with an overall height of 10,500 odd metres. More than 4 kms of this peak is under sea level. So, considering overall height, Mt. Everest is the 2nd heighest in the world.
