Chimborazo's ice pickers have long been subjected for years to the inclemency of the volcano, located in the Ecuadorian Andes. In exchange, they crush some of its ice to provide for their people.
Baltazar Ushca is the only one who continue this profession, daily walking for hours to get blocks of ice. He remembers his youth and his companions.
