The Highest montain ini the world

We all know that the highest peak in the world is the Everest Peak in the Himalayas on the border between Nepal and Tibet.

The Everest peak rises as high as 29,029 feet or about 8,848 meters above sea level. This height attracts climbers to compete with prestige to conquer the highest peak.

However, who would have guessed, if counted from the root to the top, it turns out that Everest Peak is not the highest mountain in the world. Then what is the highest mountain in the world?

The highest mountain in the world is Mauna Kea in Hawaii, United States!

If observed, Mauna Kea does look lower than Everest. Mauna Kea is only 4,205 meters above sea level or nearly half of Everest's height.

But it turns out that the foot of Mount Mauna Kea is not really above sea level.

Yes, the actual total height of Mount Mauna Kea is around 10,200 meters because the legs of Mauna Kea are below sea level. So, around 6,000 meters of Mauna Kea's body is in the sea.

This is what causes Mauna Kea not to get too much attention as the highest mountain in the world. Because it has become a common standard that the tall calculation of an object is using units of masl, aka the number of meters above sea level.
