Chimborazo

Chimborazo is a stratovolcano located in the Chimborazo Province of Ecuador, and is the highest mountain in the country, with a height of 6,263.47 m (20,549.4 ft) above sea level. It is a popular destination for mountaineers due to its challenging climbing routes, which involve traversing snow, ice, and rocky terrain. The mountain is completely covered by glaciers, with some northeastern glacier arms flowing down to 4,600 m. The summit of Chimborazo is the farthest point on Earth's surface from the Earth's center due to its location along the planet's equatorial bulge. The mountain is surrounded by the Reserva de Producción Faunistica Chimborazo, which forms a protected ecosystem to preserve the habitat for the Andes native camelids of vicuña, llama, and alpaca
