Could you accept Amazon Rainforest instead of just Amazonian?

Just made the change, thanks for your comment! I'm not an English native speaker so if anyone else notices anything weird, please let me know and I'll make the changes.

I think Amazon should be accepted on its own, since it's already obvious we're looking for a forest. Fun quiz.

Pretty bad quiz overall. First, Russia hasn't got anything to do with nature. If you really want to do a quiz on natural records, then omit all thinking grounded in political divisions of Earth. Also, I think Antarctica is drier than Chile?

No, the Atacoma Desert in Chile is drier than Antarctica. I agree, Russia doesn't belong on this quiz, it's not "natural" in the sense humans created it's borders. Asia is also man-made, being apart of the super-continent Eurasia.
