Measured from its base, the tallest would be Mauna Kea in Hawaii, which like the adjacent Mauna Loa has a deep seafloor base on the Hawaiian hotspot.
However the volcano Llullaillaco is the highest active volcano above sea level. It is an Andean stratovolcano on the border of Argentina and Chile. It was active as late as 1877. It is located about 200 km (120 miles) north of the "highest volcano", Ojos de Salado.
Nevado Ojos del Salado ("snow-covered salty eyes") is a stratovolcano in the Andes mountains, about 600 km (370 miles) north of Aconcagua, the highest mountain in the Americas. Ojos de Salado is 6893 meters (22,615 ft) in height. However, it has not been active since approximately 700 AD.

Are there any volcanoes or earthquakes in Iraq?
Iraq experiences earthquakes but does not have any volcanoes.
Are shield volcanoes and volcanoes the same?
Not necessarily. Shield volcanoes are volcanoes, but not all volcanoes are shield volcanoes.
Why are there volcanoes in Italy and Japan but not in Iraq?
Regardless of how well stuck together the Earth's surface may seem on the surface, it actually consists of several different slabs. Volcanoes and earth quakes occur along the lines where one plate rubs up against another. One such boundary runs through/underneath Italy, another Japan. But Iraq is well way from any boundary zone, so it doesn't see any volcanic activity.
What type of vocanoes are there?
composite volcanoes shield volcanoes cinder cone volcanoes spatter cone volcanoes complex volcanoes
What are three types of volcanoes?
