Mountains of North

Contrary to popular belief, the height of a mountain is measured from the base to the apex. Mt. Everest stretches 8848 meters above sea level, but it has a head start due to the general uplift from the Himalayas. The Hawaiian volcano Mauna Kea is 10,314 meters from base to apex, so even though it only reaches to 4205 meters above sea level, it is a bigger mountain than Everest. (These results only apply to an incorrect manner in which one would measure a mountain. This measurement is based upon how high above sea level the mountains peak is located. The correct way to measure a mountain would be to obtain actual height from base to apex
