![Chimborazo Volcano, the furthest point from the center of the earth (because of the earth's equatorial bulge) rises above the high, sandy "el arenal" semi-desert. Chimborazo is the highest mountain in Ecuador (6,268 metres [20,564 ft]).](https://ssl.c.photoshelter.com/img-get2/I0000Nm8c1LzY8Xg/fit=188x188/fill=/g=G0000oteFoOZEMC4/I0000Nm8c1LzY8Xg.jpg)
![Equatorial glaciers clothe Cotopaxi Volcano [5,897 m (19,347 ft)] at about 5,000 meters elevation, considered by some to be the world's highest active volcano. Ecuador. Since 1738, it has erupted more than 50 times. <br />
Cotopaxi is believed to mean "Neck of the Moon" and has been considered a sacred mountain since before Inca times.<br />
Scientists say that Cotopaxi has lost 40% of its glacier cover since 1976. Cotopaxi is one of the sources for the Amazon Watershed. Its glaciers are sources to the Rio Napo and Rio Pastaza, which in turn feed the mighty Amazon River.](https://ssl.c.photoshelter.com/img-get2/I00003H34U4b.GnI/fit=188x188/fill=/g=G0000oteFoOZEMC4/I00003H34U4b.GnI.jpg)
