Overview and Background Mauna Kea, a dormant volcano on the island of Hawaii, stands 4,207 meters (13,802 feet) above sea level. Its peak is the highest point in the state of Hawaii. Much of the mountain lies underwater; when measured from its oceanic base, Mauna Kea rises over 10,000 meters (33,000 feet) tall, making it the world's tallest mountain from base to summit, outpacing Mount Everest. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mauna_Kea Lesson Plan and Activity Mauna Kea: Tallest Mountain in Reality Mauna Kea reaches an altitude of 4,205 meters (13,796 feet) - lower than Mount Everest. Yet Mauna Kea is an island, and when measuring the distance from the nearby Pacific Ocean floor to its peak, it surpasses Mount Everest's height. At over 10,000 meters tall compared to 8,850 meters for Mount Everest, Mauna Kea holds the title of "world's tallest mountain." http://geology.com/records/highest-mountain-in-the-world.shtml
