Denali
Tallest mountain from base to peak on land/Mountains
Denali in Alaska stands 6,190 meters above sea level, but its real claim to fame is the sheer rise from base to summit -- about 5,500 meters of vertical gain, the largest of any mountain entirely on land. It's also the coldest major peak outside the polar regions, with temperatures that make Everest feel balmy.
