Did You Know About Mount Chimborazo?

Did You Know About Mount Chimborazo? This mountain is technically the highest point on the earth. Although most people would say that belongs to Mount Everest, Mount Chimborazo is almost a mile and a half taller.

Located in Ecuador, Chimborazo has the advantage of the bulge of the equator to help it achieve its full height advantage. Although Everest really is taller when measured from sea level, the earth's bulge puts Chimborazo at the top.
