The Volcano World Cup rolls on. Remember, vote in Group A, Group B, Group C and Group D. Today we tackle Group E: Ecuador, France, Honduras, and Switzerland. Ecuador: If any country has a true cakewalk to the Round of 16, it might be Ecuador. Their competition can't hold a candle to the multitude of active volcanoes in Ecuador that include Tungurahua (see below), El Reventador, Sangay and Guagua Pichincha. All of those volcanoes have erupted since the turn of the century, so it doesn't include one volcano that may have produced one of the largest eruptions of the last 2,000 years (Chimborazo) or the famous Cotopaxi. Hard to envision a way that Ecuador doesn't cruise to the next round.
