Chimborazo

Chimborazo (Spanish pronunciation: [tʃimboˈɾaso] ) is a currently inactive stratovolcano in the Cordillera Occidental range of the Andes. Its last known eruption is believed to have occurred around 550 A.D. Chimborazo’s summit is also the farthest point on the Earth’s surface from the Earth’s center given that it is located along the planet’s equatorial bulge. Chimborazo’s summit, however, is not higher than the summit of Mount Everest, as elevation is measured from sea level.
