Interesting remark by Chris Lintott in "The Sky at Night".
'Mauna Kea, the highest mountain in the world".

From base to top it is, isn't it?

Ok - I answered that quickly - it's the tallest in the world which is
obviously what he meant. If it were side by side with Everest, then
from base to top, MK would be higher but as a fair chunk of it is
under the ocean, it's not.

Great programme though, was'nt it, and an hour (on BBC4) as well ! Long may
it continue.
The only programme on TV that I vow I will never miss.

Clearly observers present in need of some clear skies to quell their idol banter. I'm lucky then to be still extracting data from last Sat two dozen exposures and the same from the Sat before that;-)
