Answer:
South America extends as far south of the equator as the Alaska panhandle does north. Yes, they have glaciers down there and even a respectable ice cap. Along the Equator itself you have the Amazon rain forest and Volcan Cayambe, the only place on earth where there is permanent snow on the Equator. Let me suggest you take some geography courses so you can know what the world is really like instead of saying stereotypical things like South America is like [something] because “it’s on the equator.”
