The following three sortable tables list land surface elevation extremes by region. Elevation is the vertical distance above the reference geoid , an equipotential gravitational surface model of the Earth's sea level .
Map of countries coloured according to their highest point The following sortable table lists land surface elevation extremes by country or dependent territory.

It is subglacial, covered permanently by the largest glacier in the world. Therefore, it is not included in any list on the page. If the ice melted it would be covered by sea.
