The Tallest Mountain In The World

Hawaii also holds some impressive records, like having the second-highest mountain in the world, Mauna Kea. It has even been labeled the tallest based on some metrics that consider its height from its base and not above sea level. But whether it’s in first or second place, it’s still a pretty impressive record.

Mauna Kea is a dormant volcanic mountain that has been around for about a million years. The mountain’s peak was considered a sacred point for native Hawaiians, but in modern times, the peak of this mountain has been utilized for observational astronomy.
