They are probably measuring from the base, not height above sea level. Everest peak is about 15K ft above it's base, which is about 14K above sea level; Mauna Kea is about 13K ft above sea level, but its base is more than 25K feet /below/ sea level. About 40K overall for Mauna Kea vs 29K for Everest.
Hey Izi, when I clicked to upvote #33 it went from 6 votes down to 5 and it's showing a negative symbol next to the number. Just thought I'd give you a heads up something might be wonky in the code.
