Cryptic Clues - Geography #2

Guess these geographical words based on the cryptic clues given.

Answers may be place names, names of physical geographical features, or other geography-adjacent things such as languages or demonyms

I'm a cryptic crossword nerd so I've tried to be mindful of that and not include too many things that you'd only know if you do a lot of them! Hopefully they'll still be satisfyingly challenging :)
