Correct answer: Chimborazo, Ecuador

Earth is not a perfect ball: it bulges at the equator by about 21 km. Chimborazo sits almost on the equator, so its summit is roughly 6,384 km from the centre of the planet, about 2 km farther out than Everest. Stand on top of Chimborazo and you are the person closest to space on Earth, even though the mountain is 2,500 m lower than Everest.
