Can you imagine standing on the to of these 25 highest mountains in the world? Think about this. Let’s stack them above sea level, starting with Mount Everest. If that happened, all of the tallest mountains in the world would be in the Himalayas.

Unfortunately, the problem with that method is the dividing line between mountains. It can be confusing depending on where the base starts. Because of that, a better measurement to use is called a “topographic prominence” (basically how much the mountain sticks out from the surrounding landscape).

So, while Mount Kilimanjaro’s peak is not as far away from sea level as any number of peaks in the Himalayas, the difference between its base and its peak is much greater. With that in mind, these are the 25 tallest mountains in the world.
