Monte Pissis
A 1994 Argentine expedition claimed —using GPS technology available at the time— that the elevation of Monte Pissis was , higher than Ojos del Salado.

In 2006 an international expedition surveyed the height on the summit, and found results in agreement with an elevation around . This was later confirmed by a 2007 Chilean-Argentine-European expedition, which surveyed both Ojos del Salado and Monte Pissis and provisionally found the former to be and the latter .
