The highest mountains in the world are in the Himalyas. Mount Everest is the tallest at over 29,000 feet, approximately 5-1/2 miles. The second highest is K2, also known as Mount Godwin Austen, at over 28,000 feet in height.NotesThe above is the standard information regarding elevations above sea level. However, the Hawaiian volcano Mauna Kea 13,796 feet above sea level, is a volcanic mountain that rises 33,000 feet from base to summit.
