Hawaii — Island of Hawaiʻi (Big Island) · USA
Mauna Kea
A dormant shield volcano roughly one million years old, and the highest point in Hawaii. Measured from its submarine base on the ocean floor, Mauna Kea is frequently cited by the U.S. Geological Survey, Guinness World Records, and National Geographic as the tallest mountain on Earth — taller than Mount Everest measured base-to-summit.
