Mauna Kea is half under the water and half above it, and, from top to bottom, it stretches a whopping 33,500 feet. That’s almost a whole mile taller than Mount Everest! We consider Mount Everest the tallest mountain because it reaches the highest distance above sea level, but in terms of height from top to bottom, this half-submerged Hawaiian volcano is the champion.
