I have no idea what Sognefjord is, yet still got it, for where else but Scandinavia could a name like that be found?

Norway is the obvious first guess, seeing as it's hugely famous for fjords.

@ ItsJerry -- a kind of very narrow bay. Like a mountain valley filled with water I guess? Wikipedia is your friend: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fjord

Caused by glaciers. Have to be longer than they are wide to qualify. Besides Norway, there are lots in NZ, Chile, and the Americas (e.g. Chile, British Columbia, Alaska, Washington).

Indeed, and it's not a knock-off of the Roman one - it's a pretty well-known monument in its own right. Maybe accept both solutions, or try to find a more precise clue that still doesn't give it all away?

look up the image on google. I've seen it many many times... including in person... but... when I was reading "merlion" I was reading it as one strange word and couldn't make sense of it.

@ander217 -- Singapore means "Lion City", and the Merlion is (per google) its official mascot.

Yup I thought it was French too. Learned something today. Also now know that there are 7 merlions there (one is a mere mercub). Apparently finding them makes for a fun bike ride: Tour de Merlion

I've lived in Canada my entire life and I've never heard of Moraine Lake. How have 53% of people heard of a landmark that people who live there haven't?

I knew moraine was a glacial feature, and USA was already used, so I guessed Canada.

@TheCrusher No, but "lots of glacier geology and uses English terms for it" means the U.S. and Canada were the two obvious guesses.

It seems that lots of people forego traveling and exploring locally. When I lived in Philadelphia, I was astonished at how many people who lived there had never gone to see the Liberty Bell or Independence Hall. Many people were in their 20s and 30s and had lived in Philly their entire lives...

But they've heard of the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall, right? This isn't about a lack of exploration. I've been to 8 out of 10 provinces and I know my country very well, but I've never heard of Moraine Lake to visit it!

Same here, Canadian and never heard of Moraine Lake before, so I didn't try Canada. I had to google it afterwards to see where it was. I can only imagine that most of the people who did get the answer are non-Canadian who randomly typed Canada. How about replacing Lake Moraine with "Banff National Park", which is much more well-known and more worthy of being called a landmark on its own?

Indeed. I've been to Banff, so I may have visited Moraine Lake and not realized it. No one talked about it. Everyone talked about Lake Louise.

You could change the Indian landmark...that is not known by many people. In fact, people outside Delhi have little chance of knowing it.

I have the feeling Potala Palace is really famous, but I'm not sure why... Well, there's this memorable bit of history which is mostly set there: https://mikedashhistory.com/2012/04/10/murder-in-the-potala/

why do you persist with the fact that England is not a country??? The United Kingdom (UK) comprises four countries: England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. Within the United Kingdom, a unitary sovereign state, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales have gained a degree of autonomy through the process of devolution.
