No correct answer yet, if my research is correct.
Schmenke isn't too far away as distance goes.
mount hunter might well be a candidate as it has a number of ridges that extend a great distance, but the problem with that is when does a ridge become part of a mountain and when it is just a ridge?
The everest area is actually one very long, massive mountain ridge that has a number of peaks, such as everest....but for whatever reason, those have been labelled as seperate mountains
Denali has several smaller areas are peaks that appear on its slopes towards the base area, yet they are treated as seperate mountains.
But I still beleive that mouna loa is the winner.
the name means something like gentle slope and if one wanted to count ridges and peaks that may be part of the base as well as a big chunk of the entire island, Loa must still be number one for base and size, esp. given its very gentle slope that makes it a fairly easy climb, notwitstanding your sources unless you are measuring above sea level only..
No point in squabbling over a definition, or our sources.
The mountain I was referring to is Mt. Logan in the Yukon and it is described as having the largest base circumferance of any mountain. It is the 2nd highest in North America and has 11 peaks over 5,000 metres. Apparently it is still growing higher!
Do we agree it is Caroline's turn? :confused:
yep
Don't feel I have earned a question, but here goes. I have a much belated question. :)
Name the only country/nation that does not have a designated official capital city.
Oi! Don't go asking questions in the geography thread which are actually geography related!Quote:

Sooo, purely having a guess I suggest it may be an island nation in the Pacific like Palau?
My 'she must who must be obeyed' said it's not PalauQuote:
