No it's not Vesuvius and it's not in Europe either.

It stands at 5,897metres and is less than fifty miles from the equator.

By the way Vesuvius last erupted in 1944 so not far off dottie

No I'm not a volcano expert/freak.

Cotopaxi in Ecuador.

Crystal Eyes · 13 Apr 2004, 14:09

Yes!

Well done.

Know a bit about it 'cos I'm going to attempt to climb it in the summer! Hoping I'll get to the top.

Why not Chimborazo! "Chimborazo" means in indian language: "the top of the world". And they knew. From the center of Earth it's the farest point!!! I will put here a photo...

We decided that is was more convenient for the area we're trekking around and that it was enough of a challenge. There's 413 metres difference between the two which might not sound a lot but can make all difference. We can't even be certain of all reaching the top of Cotopaxi mostly due to altitude as it has a tendency to affect some people a lot more than others and you can never tell who. Sorry about to go into waffle mode if I haven't already so I'll stop.

I think it doesn't matter if you conquer the vulcan or not. It will be a great adventure. Ecuador is a great country... And indians are a great nation!!! I've been among indians some weeks ago somewhere. But where? Here:

Crystal Eyes · 14 Apr 2004, 15:13

Thanks. I can't wait!

Coast of Brazil?

White of High · 14 Apr 2004, 17:07

Crystal Eyes · 15 Apr 2004, 00:14

White of High · 15 Apr 2004, 10:02

White of High · 15 Apr 2004, 23:53

Crystal Eyes · 16 Apr 2004, 13:42

White of High · 16 Apr 2004, 15:32

Crystal Eyes · 16 Apr 2004, 18:53

White of High · 16 Apr 2004, 19:32

Yes, Taxco!!!
This is the biggest silver town of the world! I did a document film here about the silversmiths, the job and their life...

Crystal Eyes · 16 Apr 2004, 23:40

Woah! I should try shooting the dark more often. That document film sounds interesting.
Anyway here's the next one.

Hope it's not too easy. I can never judge these things.

White of High · 17 Apr 2004, 13:48

Crystal Eyes · 17 Apr 2004, 14:16
