    		Chile's Tupungato at 21,489 feet.

    This site mentions Ojos del solado but it has never actually erupted, only rumbled.

    		Depends on the definition. This would be above sea level but "tallest" would be Mauna Kea in Hawaii. Measured from the sea floor it's height is 33,500 ft (10,200 m) though only 13,796 ft (4,205 m) of this break the surface.
