Reply to comment by Inspector_Crazy in TIL that the Hawaii’s Maunakea Volcano, the world’s tallest mountain, (10,210 m or 33,500 ft from base to peak) was first ascended successfully over three days in February 2021. Over half of it is underwater. by Fantastic_Ad1613
The geographic term is "Prominance" and is actually pretty interesting to look up, but basically measures a mountain by the height from the minimum elevation between it and the next highest (parent) peak. Everest is the 'Parent' of every other mountain on earth by this system.
