    Where would I be if I could see the largest volcano known to man?

    Question #40797. Asked by majorstirrer1. (Nov 05 03 4:26 PM)

    		Indeed, it seems the largest volcano in the solar system is Olympus Mons on Mars. I'd assume volcanos on planets outside the solar system wouldn't be visible, really, so surely that would be the largest known to man.

    		The largest volcano on Earth is Mauna Loa on Hawaii. It stands 74 miles (120 km) wide at the base, and rises a little over 2 (4 km) miles over the island, and about 5 1/2 (9 km) above the ocean floor. However it is dwarfed by Olympus Mons on Mars which is 17 miles (27 km) high and 335 miles (540 km) wide.

    I'm looking at something that says Mauna Kea is 13,796 feet above sea level, and Mauna Loa is 13,677 feet above sea level, but that Mauna Loa is the largest volcano in the world. If they are talking from the base, it says that Mauno Kea's rise from the base to the peak is the greatest in the world, so how is Mauna Loa the largest volcano in the world?
