Yes, even though it is located at the equator (the imaginary line that divides the northern and southern halves of the earth from which Ecuador gets it's name), snow can still be found high in the volcanoes that surround the capital city of Quito. Two notable volcanoes where snow can be found are Chimborazo and Cotopaxi. Rising to altitudes of 20,561 feet and 19,347 feet respectively, both reach high enough into the atmosphere to be covered with glaciers. In fact, if you were to measure from the center of the earth, Chimborazo would be higher than Mt. Everest! And Cotopaxi is one of the tallest active volcanoes in the world.
