Summits farthest from the Earth's centre

Mount Everest is the point with the highest elevation above sea level on Earth, but it is not the summit that is farthest from the Earth's centre. Because of the equatorial bulge, the summit of Mount Chimborazo in Ecuador is the point on Earth that is farthest from the centre of the Earth, and is 2,168 m (7,113 ft) farther from the Earth's centre than the summit of Everest.

Note: Chimborazo's summit is about 10 metres farther from the Earth's centre than that of Huascaran.
Summit Distance from Earth's centre Elevation above sea level m Latitude Country
Chimborazo 6,384.4 km or 3,967.1 mi 6,268.2 (20,565 ft) 1°28'9"S Ecuador
Huascaran 6,384.4 km or 3,967.1 mi 6,748 (22,139 ft) 9°7′17″S Peru
Cotopaxi 6,384.0 km or 3,966.9 mi 5,897 (19,347 ft) 0°40′50″S Ecuador
Kilimanjaro (Kibo Summit) 6,383 km or 3,966 mi 5,895 (19,341 ft) 3°4′33″S Tanzania
