(Creative Commons) It doesn't look that tall. The world's tallest mountain technically is not Mount Everest. . View gallery. Mount Everest is the tallest mountain above sea level, but if we're talking sheer height here, base to summit, then the tallest mountain is Mauna Kea on the island of Hawaii. Here's how it breaks down:
Mauna Kea is 33,480 feet (10,204 meters) high from the base (at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean) to peak. However, it only rises to 13,796 feet (4205 meters) above sea level. Regardless, Mount Everest will always be famous for its extreme height that reaches nearly five and a half miles (8.85 km) into the sky.
