Mount Chimborazo

    This mountain in Ecuador beats out Mount Everest for highest mountain in the world due to a bulge in the earth.

    You may have previously thought you knew everything there was to know about Really Tall Mountains, but it turns out that you've been totally fooled. Mount Chimborazo is also a great cheap vacation, if you're into that whole glacier-conquering thing.
