Mount Chimborazo

Mount Chimborazo is a mountain and an extinct volcano in Ecuador. It is located in the Chimborazo Province. Its last eruption is thought to have been over a thousand years ago. It is the tallest mountain in Ecuador, measuring at 6263 meters above sea level.

The top of Mount Chimborazo is the farthest away from the centre of the Earth as is possible to get on land. Although Mount Everest is higher, Chimborazo is farther from Earth's center because the earth bulges at the equator.
