Putting aside the danger of South America´s highest volcano, the Chimborazo in Ecuador, local Indios have profited for centuries from climbing the volcano to pick ice from the glaciers and sell it to the markets in Riobamba. The Last Real Iceman of the Chimborazo follows Balthazar Ushka, 68, who continues this practice twice a week.
