  1. Asia
    • Mt. Everest (Nepal and China)
  2. South America
    • Aconcagua (Argentina)
  3. North America
    • Mt. McKinley (United States)
  4. Africa

    • 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.
