I read about a couple of days ago but I don't remember so I'm guessing on Kilimanjaro in Tanzania.
Not Kilimanjaro
Denali aka Mt Mckinley.Quote:

If speaking of from the base of the ocean to the top maybe Kilauea or Mauna Loa however it is spelled. in Hawaii.
From base to summit the tallest mountain in the world is 10.1 km tall (Everest is 8.8km tall) and its name is Mauna Kea - 6 km of it is under water, it raises up directly from the North Pacific seabed.

I don't think they like asking questions and are not around much. Someone else got a question who had a go at answering the last?
In fairness, if someone isn't prepared to play the game fully and ask a question then see it through, they shouldn't be answering should they?Quote:

Owen Falls has a quite English sound to it however I doubt you have any falls in BritainQuote:

I have absolutely no idea what falls it is so lets call it the Wilson Falls in the Missouri river.
this rings a vague bell is the Owen falls dam in Central/East Africa? Something is relating it to the top reaches of the White Nile near lake Victoria? It may have been mentioned on Top Gears finding the source of the Nile. As to the name of the falls it obliterated/replaced, I have no idea :)
