Possibly consider rewording the clue for number 12? The singular 'waterfall' had me thinking of the specific names of each fall within the actual answer itself. Or maybe I was just thinking too hard into it.

Nice quiz - very challenging. Just as an FYI - "Croatia", "crescent", and "surrounded" are all spelled incorrectly.

Consider stating that the answers may have more than one word. For some of the clues I was trying to think of a term that answered it with just that. Cheers
