Small quibbles:

Might want to accept simply "Argentino" for the lake.

Galapagos clue could be improved, maybe with the word landform. I was trying to come up with a term for an isolated biome.

Spell check on Falkland Islands.

@surloo, that's less of a spell check, and more of a reality check needed...

Blanked on Antofagasta and Acre. Tried Arica and Amazonas. Finally got the former, but the latter deserted me to the end.

Nice series, thank you! One spelling mistake: 'seperating' is spelled 'separating'.
