    Everest - the highest point above mean sea level
    Mt Kilimanjaro which is the highest above the surrounding land
    The one in Ecuador which is furthest from the centre of the earth (It's further than Everest because of the earth's bulge at the equator)
    The Pacific island which is the greatest height from base to peak.
    Can't name the last two without looking them up

    I'll take it mate.
    Here is one that Steve probably will get if someone like Storm, Schmencks', or Gadji don't get to it first

    This ancient site that legend tells us was formed by a witch's curse, is also the title of a most righteous song (imo) from this album:
