The mountain you are referring to is Mauna Kea. It has a height of about 33,500 feet when measured from its base on the ocean floor to its summit, making it the tallest mountain on Earth when considered from base to top. However, its summit is only about 13,796 feet above sea level, as most of it is submerged in the Pacific Ocean.
