    Andes, somewhere
    I don't know, but it's probably somewhere near the equator, since the Earth's spin makes it fatter here. And the Andes cross the equator, if I recall correctly.

    Let's see...
    I'll check and see if it's at the NJ Shore since that is where I will be until further notice.

    I think it is Maunna Kea (sp?) in the Hawaiian Islands, as it starts at the ocean floor.

    I remember this trivia question from when my I was homeschooling my kids, we had fun exploring this question...the answer is Chimborazo in the Andes.
