You are right too! Everest is the tallest mountain on earth that is NOT under water.  | |

I think you'll find that Mauna Kea (not sure of the spelling) somewhere in Hawaii IS the world's tallest mountain. It's approx 33,000ft from base to summit (Everest is only 29,000ft approx). Most of it is under the ocean, however. But the record still stands.
Mauna Kea is officially the World's highest mountain. The things that you learn on the Org, eh? | |

And I am proud to say, I have stood on it's tip.
It is quite the experience. The air is VERY thin up there, and it snows! Imagine, snow in Hawaii!  | |
