I'm not sure of the correct geological name, but most folks just call it, "Iceland". The island of Iceland is the highest part of the mid-Atlantic ridge. Iceland's highest peak will be the absolute tippy-top of the entire ridgeline.
As Wikipedia says, Ponta do Pico (2,351 m above the sea level) is the highest mountain in Portugal, the Azores, and the highest elevation of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge.

One of the highest underwater peaks of mid atlantic ridge is Dom João de Castro Bank volcano, which is at azores, and rises to approximately 13 meters from sea level. Of course, Azore islands itself are even higher mountains, and as already answered, Iceland's highest peak is also highest of point of MAR. Personally I find underwater peaks very interesting.
