  Everest

  Mount Everest, located in the Mahalangur Himal massif in the Himalayas, is the world's tallest mountain. It is still growing at about 2mm a year. Official figures for the mountain's height were revised up by nearly 1m in 2020, to 8,848m.
  The mountain's growth was previously thought to be due to shifting tectonic plates, although this theory does not explain why Mount Everest is unusually tall compared to other peaks in the range, standing about 250m higher than the next highest peak in the Himalayas. The next three highest peaks in the world, K2, Kangchenjunga and Lhotse, are only about 120m apart in height.
