The World's Tallest Mountain ??
At 29,029ft (8,848m) Everest is the "highest" mountain in the world, but measured from top to bottom, below sea level, Mauna Kea beats Everest by 4436 ft. (over 3/4 of a mile).
Although Mount Everest, at 29,029 feet tall, is often called the "tallest" mountain; Mauna Kea, an inactive volcano on the island of Hawaii is actually **taller**.
Only 13,796 feet of Mauna Kea stands above sea level, however, if you measure it from its base, which is below sea level, it is 33,465 feet. If you stand Mauna Kea and Mount Everest next to each other, Mount Kea would be 4400 feet taller.

Olympus Mons, at over 80,000ft from base to summit, on Mars makes Everest here on earth look like a proverbial ant hill.
