What is Mount Chimborazo?
[[File:David_Torres_Costales_Chimborazo_Riobamba_Ecuador_Montaña_Mas_Alta_del_Mundo.jpg|thumb|Mount Chimborazo|400px]] '''Mount Chimborazo''' is a [[mountain]] and an [[dormant volcano|extinct volcano]] in [[Ecuador]]. Its last [[Volcanic eruption|eruption]] is thought to have been over a thousand years ago. 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]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.profsurv.com/archive.php?issue=42&article=589|title=Did Edmund Hilary climb the wrong mountain?|publisher = Professional Surveyor Magazine |work = May 2000 Volume 20 Number 5|first = Joseph H. |last = Senne| date = May 2000|accessdate = 2008-10-24}}</ref> == References == {{reflist}} {{geo-stub}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Chimborazo, Mount}} [[Category:Volcanoes of Ecuador]] [[Category:Mountains of Ecuador]] [[Category:Chimborazo Province]]
