While Mount Everest is the highest mountain above sea level, Mauna Kea extends about 13,796 feet (4,205 meters) above sea level, but its base is deep beneath the ocean surface. When measured from its base on the ocean floor to its summit, Mauna Kea is over 33,500 feet (10,210 meters) tall, making it taller than Mount Everest."
