22nd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Chimborazo Volcano

We passed by the Chimborazo Volcano in Ecuador, and I took this photo. Because the earth bulges at the equator, Chimborazo is actually farther from the center of the Earth than Mt. Everest. Thus, it is closer to the sun than Everest.
