True, Mount Aconcagua (~23,000 feet) is way taller, but it doesn’t feel as dramatic as Fuji or Rainier because it’s surrounded by other big peaks in the Andes. Kilimanjaro could be another one to compare since it’s tall and stands out on its own like Fuji and Rainier, but there’s something about Fuji’s perfect symmetry that really sets it apart. If you’re looking for another mountain with that kind of shape, check out Mount Mayon, it’s smaller, but the cone is almost perfect.
