Highest point is the peak of Ras Dashen at 4,550m (14,930ft). Can only see the rest of the surrounding highlands, it's quite a mountainous country overall.
In Ecuador, it is the Chimborazo volcano/mountain with 6,263 m (20,548 ft) elevation, located in the Andes range (cordillera). The top completely covered by glaciers.
