Instead, it is oblong with a “ centrifugal bulge,” causing Mount Chimborazo’s peak to be over 6,800 feet further from the center of the Earth than Everest’s, despite the fact that Mount Everest actually reaches an elevation 9,000 feet higher.Before posting on the Neighbors App, be sure to view our Community Guidelines to see what types of posts and comments are permitted. This extra distance is a result of the fact that Earth is not perfectly round. This makes Denali roughly 3,000 feet taller than Everest, when measured from base to peak.Įcuador's Mount Chimborazo could also be in the running for tallest mountain, as its peak is farther from the center of the Earth than any other, according to the National Ocean Service. Its base is situated at an elevation of 2,000 feet, and its summit is only about 9,000 feet below Everest’s, according to the National Park Service. Unlike Mauna Kea, the base of Denali is situated on land. If the underwater portion of Mauna Kea disqualifies it from the competition, then Alaska’s Denali, formerly known as Mount McKinley, becomes the world’s tallest mountain from base to peak, according to Montana State University. A mountain’s distance above sea level is the most common measurement for its height, but Mauna Kea could be considered the tallest by those who want to argue the technicality.

However, its underwater base is far below sea level, so it doesn’t reach the elevation that Mount Everest does, according to the National Ocean Service.

Mauna Kea, a shield volcano in Hawaii, is technically the world's tallest mountain from base to peak.

According to the National Park Service, Mount Everest’s base is 14,000 feet above sea level, meaning it is a little over 15,000 feet from base to peak.
