Yeah. It's considered that if it's about being technical. But the highest above sea level, and closest to space, is Everest.

krass · 31-35

@Ynotisay not sure that's true

@krass But it is. Mauna Kea is the tallest from base to peak. But highest is measured from sea level. That's Everest. Highest summit. Those who say Mauna Kea is the tallest are just trying to be contradictory and cute.
