It is the Himalaya mountain range in Nepal of which Mount Everest is the highest peak above sea level. Why do say it is not the highest? Off course it is.

At 32,569 feet Mt. Noseeit on the island of Imagina towers over that puny little Everest, formerly the world's highest mountain. In case you are looking on a map Imagina is an island several miles off the coast of South Denytruth.

It depends from where you begin your measurments.
(A)"Hawaii's Mauna Kea rises an astonishing 33,476 feet (10,203 meters) from the depths of the Pacific Ocean floor. Measuring from base to peak, Mauna Kea is the tallest mountain on earth."
(B)"The point FARTHEST FROM THE center OF THE EARTH is the summit of Chimborazo volcano in the Andes of Ecuador. Its elevation is only 6,310 m (20,703 ft) but because of its location near the equator it gets a boost from the equatorial bulge caused by the spin of the earth. This bulge makes the earth's radius about 21,000 m (68,900 ft) greater at the equator than at the poles. In fact, the beaches of Ecuador are farther from the center of the earth than is the summit of Mt. Everest."
