Tallest Mountains per Continent

The following list is in order of tallest to highest mountain. So, Mt. McKinley is larger than Mt. Kilimanjaro but smaller than Aconcagua.
  1. Asia
    • Mt. Everest (Nepal and China)
  2. South America
    • Aconcagua (Argentina)
  3. North America
    • Mt. McKinley (United States)
  4. Africa
    • Mt. Kilimanjaro (Tanzania)
  5. Europe
    • Mt. Elbrus (Russia)
  6. Oceania*
    • Mt. Wilhelm (Papua New Guinea)
*I know, I know. OCEANIA IS NOT A CONTINENT, but the true continent, Australia's, tallest mountain (Mt. Kosciuszko) is nearly half the size of Mt. Wilhelm.
