As for Mount Everest, you couldn't see it from New York or Tokyo even with the most powerful telescope ever devised (there's a planet in the way).

Not only that, but, the gravitational field of the Earth is not completely uniform, resulting in a spot in the Pacific Ocean where the water level is actually below sea level!
