Notes
This site was the original list for high points on the Internet. I posted a list based on the Rand-McNally Atlas. I am now putting it in synch with the CIA World Factbook because it reflects the official recognition policy of the U.S. governenment . There are still some issues. The Factbook incorrectly lists the highpoint for Chile in South America (I list the correct one) and there's some drama regarding the continent of "Oceania." I have followed the Factbook's continent listing for the most part. However, I have kept Australia as a separate continent. Many people consider Carstensz Pyramid on Indonesia as the Oceania's highest point. The factbook lists Indonesia as part of Asia and I have left it there. Puncak Jaya is the accepted name in the Factbook for this highpoint on Indonesia. Most people refer to it as Carstensz Pyramid.

The highest place on Earth, in terms of elevation, is the top of Mount Everest, located in Tibet.

Depends on where you say the world ends. Mount Everst is indeed the highest place attached to the globe by land, but the International Space Station is attached by some remeinents of the planet's atmosphere, so maybe that is the correct answer.

It depends on where you start. If you start at the foot of the mountain, then either of the two peaks on the big island of Hawaii (called Hawaii) are the highest points on earth, because the foot of these mountains in under the ocean. If, however, you insist that you must start out at the foot of the mountain on dry land, then Mount Everest in the Himalayas is the highest place...If you mean the by highest the greatest ditance between the low point (bottom) and the top of a mound of earth (and rock), then it would have to be the Marianas Trench in the north west Pacific, which is 11.2 miles deep. If you mean by highest the place where most people are high all the time, then you probably mean Amsterdam...
