Mount Everest isn’t technically the tallest mountain on Earth. Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa in Hawaii, the twin volcanoes, are taller than Mount Everest due to 4.2 km of their heights being submerged underwater. The twin volcanoes measure a staggering 10.2 km in total, compared to Everest’s paltry 4.6 km.
