CORREOS DEL ECUADOR issued in the late 1930s to 1940s stamps depicting Mount Chimborazo (Chimborazo-Andes Ecuatorianos), an inactive stratovolcano in the Andes. These stamps were released in different colours and either a face value of 30 Centavos (Treinta Centavos). American Bank Note printed the stamps.
Mount Chimborazo is a major national landmark; although not the highest peak by elevation above sea level, its position on the equatorial bulge makes its summit the point on Earth closest to the sun.
