The world's 100+ tallest mountain peaks are all in the Himalya, Karakorum, and related ranges in south-central Asia. What is the world's tallest mountain that is not in this region?

Yes, it's in the Andes. But not in Peru. |

Nope - not in Peru, Bolivia, or Chile.
It's been 26 hours, so go ahead and search the internet. |

Mount Aconcagua in Argentina. I had to search to find this one. It was too tough for us! |

I asked a stray cat. He or she said it was Mount Aconcagua in Argentina. |

Yep - Salty Dog and Pirate both got it. Salty was first by a nose. Pirate apparently speaks feline, which I'm sure comes in handy at times!
I had also never heard of Mount Aconcagua before I started researching this question. It's rather amazing that none of us had ever heard of the tallest mountain in the western hemisphere! |

If that's the case, shouldn't the cat be asking the next question?
