About: Highest Mountain on Each Continent
Overview of the data behind this chart
The tallest peak on each of the seven continents ranked by summit elevation in metres above sea level. Mount Everest on the Asia-Nepal/Tibet border is the highest point on Earth at 8,849 metres — a measurement updated by a joint Chinese-Nepalese survey in 2020 that added nearly a metre to the previously accepted figure, confirming Everest's status even as climate change gradually alters the snow cap that tops its rocky summit.
