Yes, Mount Everest is taller than the biggest volcano on Earth, which is Mauna Loa in Hawaii. Mount Everest stands at approximately 8,848 meters (29,029 feet) above sea level, while Mauna Loa measures about 4,169 meters (13,681 feet) above sea level. However, when measured from its base on the ocean floor, Mauna Loa is over 9,000 meters tall, making it taller than Everest from that perspective. Nonetheless, when considering elevation above sea level, Everest is the taller of the two.
