I'm actually not familiar with Tuttle. At least one more major one in Washington; don't forget Cascades go into Canada too.

I always wondered why a continent (or several) is not an island. For example, the landmass of the Americas (North, Central, South) is completely surrounded by water; why isn't it an island?

Scotland, France, Bangladesh (or is it Myanmar/Burma?), Italy

Three right, 1 wrong. (Hint--it's not the one you questioned!)

Heh. New Zealand! The Southern Alps are the range running N to S on the main (southern) island.

I think this is Lake Baikal (Baykal) in Siberia.

OK, I'm slightly boggled. . .are there presently some unanswered questions?

Here are mine. . .
What four U.S. states share the same geographical point?
Of the lower 48 states in the U.S., which has the most northern point?
What country claims land closest to the North Pole? (state the Lat of that point, for this I'll permit googling)
What country maintains the most southernmost landmass free and clear of any treaty (e.g. the Antarctic treaty)?

Utah, Colorado, erm, New Mexico and...Arizona? or Nevada?

Washington...?

Denmark (Greenland) Hmm, lat: 83°42' (yikes, hard to find!!)

Chilli?

How about answers be confirmed before the next question is asked?

I've also confirmed Lake Baikal is the deepest freshwater lake.

I think Russia has some Islands farther north than Greenland, not sure though.


Svalbard, Norway is pretty close too

Sorry, I though Lake Baikal had already been confirmed.

Duane managed to answer the first question correctly if he leaves off his last suggestion.

The second question is still open.

I have Perry Land in northernmost Greenland as slightly farther north than any other island.

The fourth question is still open.

The answer to the second question is : Minnesota - there is a small corner struttuing out into Canada from the long straight border running across Washington, Montana, North Dakota and Minnesota.

For the fourth, I venture: Great Britain (Laurie Island, of the South Orkneys)

I suggest we keep only one question open; whoever anwered this question transfers the right to ask the next one to the poster who got her/his question right. It works extremely well in the Ultimate Astronomy Quiz. On the other hand, shooting off anwers and asking the next round of questions without waiting for confirmation makes it very difficult to keep track, as some answers wil surely be disputed.

Arneb, your second answer is correct. My initial instinct is to always says Maine, but that is is because of the distortions in most flat maps. The line that defines the northern border of the western part of the U.S. is the north of Maine. Minnesota has that strange little notch that is north of that line.

U.K. is my answer to the fourth question. But the islands in question would have been the South Sandwich Islands. The National Geographic map that I have does not give an exclusive claim to the South Orkneys.

Mine too

Of course, I should have said UK, not Great Britain . The thing about the exclusive claim might stem from the fact that one member of the South Orkneys, Orcada Island, I think, belongs to Argentina. However, Laurie Island, which is the southernmost of the archipelago, belongs to the UK.

How about you pose a tie-break question, and the one with the right answer continues the game?
