Here is a comparison with all the answers:
http://www.gcmap.com/mapui?P=MAD-WLG%2C ... 80&SU=mach
Name the highest mountain on each of the 7 continents (i.e. Africa, Antarctica, Asia, Europe, North America, South America and Oceanea)
Asia (and world) Mount Everest.
Africa Mount Kimilanjaro
Europe; Mont Blanc
North America Mount McKinley?
Oceania, Antarctica and S.America no idea.
Asia - yes
Africa - yes
Europe - no (Blanc is the tallest in Western Europe)
North America - yes
Finally something I know well enough...apart from Australia/Oceania
Europe - Mt Elbrus in caucasus
S America - Aconcagua
Antarctica - Mt Vinson (?)
Oceania - knew this but cannot remember :\
Is Caucasus in Europe? :confused:Quote:

Mt Blanc is the highest in W Europe if you exclude Russia from Europe.
No idea on this question.

therefore both Mount Ebrus and Mont Blanc should be acknowledged as correct answers.
I remember recently watching a Nat Geo documentary on Mount Wilhelm in Papua New Guinea which I believe is the tallest in Oceania.
