What's the furthest place from the center of the earth on land? Hint: It's not the Everest.
Mount Everest is the tallest mountain in the world. It'd be pretty fair to assume that if you're at the peak of Mount Everest, you would also be the furthest you could be from the center of the Earth while still being on firm ground. You'd be wrong.
Because of the Earth's shape, the furthest away you can be from the center of the Earth while still being on land is a dormant volcano in Ecuador. It's called Mount Chimborazo. It's estimated that the last time this volcano erupted was over a thousand years ago.
