I kept typing Norway and Sweden wondering why they didn't work. Only after the time was up did I realize the clue was "region", not "country". Sigh.

Denmark, Norway and Sweden are the only countries considered Scandinavian. Finland, Iceland and the Scandinavian Countries are Nordic. Sometimes Estonia, Greenland and The Faroe Islands are also considered Nordic, it depends on who you ask. :)

Geographically Finland does not belong to Scandinavia. In the political sense we're sometimes said to belong but a better wording in that sense is "the Nordic Countries", which contain also Denmark and Iceland.

Correct term is fennoscandia if you want to include Finland, but that leaves Denmark out which is scandinavian. Nordic countries is the best word to use as it covers the whole area.

If I'm correct, Fennoscandia is a more geographical term.

If you’re an expert in the subject it’s not surprising you don’t find it hard. It’s surprising an expert would find that worth mentioning though. There’s this Facebook group called “guess the city” where they guess satellite images of cities and it’s much harder than this. You might be happier there.

Malvinas should be accepted. The islands are so referred in many atlas, not to mention the fact that they are in fact located in the argentine continental platform. Great quiz though!

Thanks for these quizzes, Quizmaster. They inspire me to stop and learn more about the places I didn't know anything about, such as Great Bear Lake and the Kamchatka peninsula. A fun way to increase my geography knowledge.

This accepts "Channel" for English Channel and "Great Bear" for "Great Bear Lake", but not "Michigan" for "Lake Michigan". Please make it consistent.

Otherwise, great quiz.

Hispaniola was so tricky. I did type in Haiti, not knowing it also still goes by the name of Hispaniola.

Level 82
Feb 22, 2019
It's not that Haiti and Hispaniola are synonymous, it's that Haiti is incorrect. Haiti is only half of the island. The other half is the Dominican Republic.

Level 68
Jan 24, 2021
That is incorrect. Haiti is actually only 36% of Hispaniola.

seeing as how they're owned by spain, "canarias" should be a correct response for canary islands.
