Mauna Loa - tallest from base. (sea floor)
Everest - tallest from sea level.
Chimborazo - tallest from center of earth.

Mauna Kea is the tallest from base, not Mauna Loa.

Yeah, I've been to the summit of Mouna Kea and have seen the department of interior state high point marker. Great view, the skies were clear enough to see Maui

It's quite easy to spot Kea from Maui. Whether at the beach or atop Haleakala

I think I sorta kinda knew that. Mostly I wanted to mention Chimborazo. Fun fact and fun to say.

That's neat. I did not know that was the furthest point from the center of the earth.

Because the earth bulges slightly at the Equator, so everything around that gets a bit of a boost.
Based on sea level Chimborazo is 9,000 feet lower than Everest.

The sea is old news. All glory to the bulge!
