Mount Chimborazo, a dormant volcano in Ecuador, is the highest peak in the country at about 6,263 meters (20,549 feet). But what truly sets it apart is Earth’s shape — because the planet bulges at the equator, Chimborazo’s summit is actually the farthest point from Earth’s center, even farther than Mount Everest. So, while Everest is higher above sea level, Chimborazo holds the unique distinction of being the point on Earth closest to outer space! (Via: @sebastianglennnn) #history #reels #wildli
