OMG OMG. We’re on a flight from Guayaquil to Quito and the drink cart is doing its rounds. We’re high above the clouds, we look to our right out the window and there in the near distance is the snow capped peak of Volcan Chimborazo. The peak is Ecuador’s highest and due to the earth’s equatorial bulge, is also the furthest point from the center of the earth. It is so crazy to see a volcano’s peak above the clouds. It’s also crazy to think that there are people who climb to that peak!
