Could you accept United kingdom/UK for "Great Britain"?

I get that Australia is considered a continent but it is also considered an island given that it is a continent not connected an any way to another continent like the others with the exception of Antarctica.. which should also be considered an island given the definition of an island.

Yes, but technically Africa, North America, and South America aren't connected to any other continents either.

Good quiz. Can't agree with dcmd that Australia and Antarctica can be considered islands. His argument doesn't make sense. An island is land separate from a continental landmass and which is entirely surrounded by water.

+1 on accepting UK for Great Britain although it's legally incorrect. Also, please consider "papua new guinea" for new guinea.

Great quiz. Nice to have a mix of easier and harder geographical features.

One question though. Shouldn't Philippine Trench also be acceptable for Galathea Depth?
