47,266 ft highest in the world
Mt Hood in Oregon. or Yellowstone park Mt. Hood is tall but not the tallest. Mauna Kea, the dormant volcano in the Hawaiian Islands which is, measuring from its base underwater to its tip, the tallest mountain in the world (13,803 feet)
That depends on how you measure them. There are two mountains that could claim the title of the world's tallest. The summit of Mount Everest is higher above sea level than the summit of any other mountain, but Mauna Kea is the tallest when measured from base to summit.
Mount Everest is widely recognized as the tallest mountain on Earth when measuring from sea level to summit. However, when measured from base to summit, the tallest mountain is Mauna Kea in Hawaii. Mauna Kea rises about 10,203 meters (33,500 feet) from the ocean floor, while Mount Everest's height from sea level is about 8,848 meters (29,029 feet).
The Mauna Kea Observatories are a group of astronomical observatories, including the W. M. Keck Observatory, Subaru Telescope, and others, located on the summit of Mauna Kea on the Big Island of Hawaii. The 13 telescopes on Mauna Kea range in size from 0.6 to 10.4 meters in diameter.
If we consider the bottom of Mauna Kea to be the ocean floor, then yes, Mauna Kea is higher than Mount Everest. But if we are talking about elevation above sea level, Mauna Kea is less than half the height of Eveest.
Although Mauna Kea has a lower elevation than Mt. Everest (because it's base is below sea level), if you were to compare Mauna Kea and Mt. Everest in their height (from base to crest), Mauna Kea is taller than Mt. Everest.
