Aaargh! I tried about 10 different spellings of Huron except the right one.
Maybe accept Xanti for Xanthi? (Got it anyway, just a suggestion to help out others.)

There are channel islands of France and the UK, too. Maybe the question could be specified.

"Holland as one of its regions" isn't a good clue for N because there is no region called Holland; only North Holland and South Holland.

North and South Holland are provinces. "Region" is a perfectly acceptable term for Holland.

"The great lakes" is a region of the US and Canada. It doesn't have to be a province or state.

Nice! I thought Akureyri was Iceland's second largest city but perhaps that's only if you consider urban area

I was thinking of anything Greek sounding with an X. I would've tried Xanthia, but didn't need the A at the end. No idea why. Got lucky.

The term "Channel Islands" refers specifically to the archipelago off the coast of Normandy. The Isle of Wight is an island in the English channel, but not a Channel Island.

I tried "end" too, after apparently misspelling estuary, which was my first answer. I mean... "end" could definitely answer the question, yeah?
