For The Record


What is the world's tallest mountain and highest elevation

Of courseMt. Evereston the border of Nepal and TibetChinais the world's tallest mountain and highest elevation with a peak at 29035 feetor 8850m.

The National Geographic Society revised the height of Mt. Everest in 1999 from 29028 feetor 98848mdue to new GPS calculations.

What's the tallest mountain from base to peak

Mauna Kea in Hawaii is the one.

Its bases on the sea floorand it raises 33480 feetor 10314 min totalreaching 13796 feetor 4205mabove sea level.

In reference to its towering height 20320 feet above sea levelMt. McKinley in Alaska is the tallest mountain in North America.

It has been namedThe Roof of North AmericaorThe Chimney of North America.

Located about 55 kilometers drive from AmmanJordan the Dead Sea in the Middle East region is the lowest point on Earth.

The sunset touching the distant hills with ribbons of fire across the waters of the Dead Sea brings a sense of unreality to culminate a day's visit to the lowest point on the earthsome 1320 feetor 400mbelow sea level.

On route a stone marker indicatesSea Level”,but the Dead Sea itself is not reached before descending another 400 meters below this sign.

As the name suggeststhe sea is devoid of life due to an extremely high content of salts and minerals.

But it is these natural elements which give the waters their curative powersrecognized since the days of Herod the Greatmore than 2000 years ago.

They also provide the raw materials for the renowned Jordanian Dead Sea Bath Salt and cosmetic products which are marketed worldwide.
