英文注释：

Once wide enough for rituals around a ceremonial platform, Ampato mountain's avalanche-narrowed summit now only admits visitors single file. To the Inca, Ampato was sacred, a god who brought life-giving water and good harvests. As a god, the mountain claimed the highest tribute—an Inca mummy and other burial sites have been found here.
