Depends on how you look at it.
Mount Everest reaches a height of over 29,035 feet above sea level, and Denali is 20,320 feet above the sea. So Mount Everest is tallest, right?
But wait a minute. Mount Everest sits on a Tibetan plateau that is 17,000 feet tall, so the actual mountain is only about 12,000 feet.
Denali starts at about 1000 feet above sea level so the actual mountain part is around 19,000 feet tall.
Now which is tallest??
The debate continues.
