Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Our first stop is a visit to the world's oldest and deepest lake, also one of the largest. Dress warmly!

Answer: Lake Baikal, Siberia, Russia

Lake Baikal is over 25 million years old. It is 5,387 feet (1,642 meters) deep and covers an area of roughly 12,200 square miles (31,722 square kilometers). The lake contains approximately 20% of the world's freshwater.

2. Our next stop is a country by the Atlantic Ocean where misty days are the norm. To get out of the weather we visit Ross Castle. Where are we?

Answer: County Kerry, Ireland

In County Kerry a misty day is called a "soft day". We could spend several days driving the Ring of Kerry, a 111-mile (179 kilometer) drive around the area's mountains, lakes and monuments. The mountains are called MacGillycuddy's Reeks. Ross Castle was the last castle to surrender in the war between Irish Catholics and British protestants called the Irish Confederate Wars.

3. A short hop takes us over to Mount William National Park. Here we find a pristine beach with huge rocks of granite that give off an orange hue. Where are we now?

Answer: Bay of Fires, Tasmania, Australia

The orange hue is caused by the presence of lichen. The bay was given its name by a Royal Navy captain in 1773 when he saw fires on the beaches lit by Aboriginal people.

Answer: Landmannalaugar, Iceland

Landmannalaugar is on the edge of a lava field. The Laugavegur Trail is a 4 day trek through a volcanic desert. The trail has been listed by National Geographic as one of the twenty best trails in the world.

5. Keep the warm clothes handy because we're going skiing. This alpine national park is home to New Zealand's highest mountain. What is the name of this park of ice and snow?

Answer: Mt. Cook National Park

Mount Cook was named after Captain James Cook who surveyed New Zealand in 1770. Glaciers cover 40% of the park's area. The park is located on the South Island of New Zealand.

Answer: Seychelles, Coastal Africa

The Seychelles were never populated by indigenous people. The French took control of the islands in 1756 and named the islands after King Louis XV's Minister of Finance. The British took control in 1814. The islands became independent in 1976.

7. Next, we go a city that was home to its country's emperor for over a thousand years. The Golden Pavilion is the city's most important temple.

Answer: Kyoto, Japan

Within the city limits of Kyoto there are more than 2,000 temples. Tokyo has taken over as the capital, but Kyoto remains Japan's cultural center. "Sekai no Kyoto" means "the world's Kyoto".

Answer: Crater Lake National Park, Oregon

Crater Lake was formed 7,700 years ago by the eruption of Mt. Mazama. Its deep blue waters are awe inspiring. Crater Lake is the fifth oldest park in the USA and is Oregon's only national park.

9. Ah, the islands of the South Pacific, French Polynesia to be exact. Tahiti to be more precise. To what island group does Tahiti belong?

Answer: Society Islands

The Society Islands are one of seven island groupings that make up French Polynesia. The islands likely were named by Captain James Cook in 1769 to honor the Royal Society of Britain. Tahiti is the largest of the Society Islands.

Answer: Denali National Park

Denali means "great one" in Koyukan, the language of the local indigenous people. Denali had been unofficially known as Mt. McKinley to honor the US 25th president. In 2015 the name of the park was officially changed to Denali National Park.
