Americas
The largest mountain ranges are the Andes and Rocky Mountains. The Sierra Nevada and the Cascade Range reach similar altitudes as the Rocky Mountains, but are significantly smaller. In North America, the greatest number of fourteeners are in the United States, and more specifically in the U.S. state of Colorado. The highest peaks of the Americas are located in the Andes, with Aconcagua of Argentina being the highest; in North America Denali (Mount McKinley) in the U.S. state of Alaska is the tallest.
Mons Huygens
In comparison, Mount Everest rises to altitude above sea level (asl), but is only (base-to-peak) (btp). Africa's Mount Kilimanjaro is about altitude above sea level to the Uhuru peak; also 4.6 km base-to-peak. America's Denali, also known as "Mount McKinley", has a base-to-peak of .
The Franco-Italian "Mont Blanc/Monte Bianco" is in altitude above sea level, Mount Fuji, which overlooks Tokyo, Japan, is about altitude. Compared to the Andes, Mons Huygens would rank outside the hundred tallest peaks, being roughly the same height as Argentina's Cerro Pajonal; the peak is higher than any above sea level in Oceania, but base-to peak it is considerably shorter than Hawaii's Mauna Kea and its neighbors.
