Which mountain is the highest outside Asia?

Aconcagua, in the Andes of western Argentina, stands at about 6,961 metres above sea level. It is the tallest mountain in the Americas and the highest peak outside Asia, where the world’s 8,000-metre giants are found. The mountain is a major target for high-altitude climbers because it can be reached without technical alpine skills on the standard route. Its name is often linked to indigenous origins, though the exact etymology is debated.
