TAG24's Fun Fact of the Day (04/21/2024)

Mount Everest is the tallest mountain in the world, right? Well, no, not technically. Mauna Kea in Hawaii is actually the world's tallest mountain, as the height of a mountain is the measure taken from the base to the summit. Unlike Everest, which, from top to bottom, measures 29,032 feet, Mauna Kea measures more than 33,400 feet.

The difference? Only 13,803 of those feet are above sea level.
