The inactive range of stratovolcano, a composed volcano made up of multiple layers of lava and tephra, is located in Cordillera Occidental, Ecuador. Its located 150 km southwest of the city of Quito, neighboring mount Carihuairazo. Chimborazo is known for an eruption estimated to occur around 550 A.D. Originally named on dialects of Quichua to reference "chimba", meaning on the other side. The other half of the word "razu" means ice. The peak elevation comes in at 6263 m, known for many mountaineering climbing routes. The summit is the furthest point on Earth's surface from the Earth's center, making it the equatorial bridge.
Mount Chimborazo is referenced in Eighteen Hundred and Eleven in line 325 when Barbauld states, "On Chimborazo's summits treads sublime." It is noted the location is a "Mountian in Ecuador." In the stanza, the author describes a storm that affects the mountains in the Andes. The reference to the summit being subline means that the mountain is so tall that the effects of the storm only reach the bottom of the mount. The top of the mountain wasn't affected that heavily. The next line gets into how the mount "measures lofty over time," confirming that the mount stands tall through the storms.
