Answer: Lake Titicaca

As Beelop heads back home to Qusimodo, he thinks about the wonders he'd seen on Earth and about the humans he'd met. One of the things he marvels at is no matter where he went on Earth, there was always water. From Antarctica to Lake Titicaca in South America (which is the highest navigable lake on Earth) water or ice is always there. He takes back to his native home a deep and profound understanding of the Human race, and of this Universe, and our purposes in life...

Beelop hopes you enjoyed the trip. I know I certainly did!
