Chimborazo is not only the highest mountain in Ecuador, it’s also the closest mountain to the equator and its summit the closest point on Earth to space and the farthest point from the center of the Earth, roughly 2 kilometers farther from the center than the summit of Mount Everest. Though Everest is the highest point on Earth above sea level, Chimborazo’s summit is farthest from the center because it’s located directly on the Earth’s equatorial bulge.

How amazing that BBC made a vid here in Ecuador, of the Chimborazo, but it's sad to know that is melting because of climate change ):

I was on the chimborazo it's so beautiful there

Life is wonderful .... so enjoy every moment ...... !!!

Beautiful scenery :) But it's sad...it will gone, slowly :(

"they have come up with unique plan". It's not unique. It's normal way to calculate glaziers, floods and terrain..

Fair, but building your own UAV to gather your own data isn't commonplace either.

Are you sure that those glaciers were there during the medieval war period? And didn’t just appear during the little ice age from the 1600s until the 1800s? Could you people get these facts wrong all the damn time conveniently for your argument and you know what maybe it’s a good thing the people live in Ecuador, because just down the hill is the worlds largest tropical rainforestI doubt they’re gonna run out of water

this Planets climate is and always has been changing. The constant is change, and thus those who do not adapt suffer most.

Thats what happens when you are at the end of an ice age, ice melts.

Drill a well 70 % of the earths water is below ground. Think of the oceans being locked up underground except most of it is fresh. This water drives continental drift. This has been known for decades. Ha!😎🇺🇸
