Assuming I guessed what you're after correctly, I think the answer is Kangchenjunga.
In 1847 Andrew Scott Waugh, then superintendent of the Great Trigonometrical Survey of India, while observing from near Darjeeling in the eastern Himalayas, calculated the height of the massif of Kangchenjunga at 28,176 feet (8590 m). At that time this far exceeded any peak yet measured, and Waugh recorded it as the world’s highest mountain (it is in fact the third highest, though the modern accepted value for its height is 28,208 feet/8598 m).
The next time the huge Survey measured a mountain higher than this it was Everest in 1856.so before mt everest it was
Kangchenjunga. i m sure

I think it is a mountain that is off in Hawaii. I forgot what it was called but it extends from the bottom of the ocean to the top of the surface. Am I right?
