	Need to accept Dem Rep of Congo for Democratic Republic of the Congo...

	halophex:	Jun 11th, 2011 at 04:30 GMT		17 points
	I was thinking that just "D" should be accepted for Democratic Republic of Congo. Sporcle should be able to read my mind.

	This quiz really heated up my mind.

	deugea:	Jun 11th, 2011 at 05:00 GMT		12 points
	@packsoldier: they already accept DRC, which is even shorter. Try that next time!

	I actually love love love this quiz :)

	craigmeister:	Jun 11th, 2011 at 07:59 GMT		10 points
	It was helpful to have these in alphabetical order...

	3300 takers, and 11% watched Survivor: Vanuatu and remember tribe names were Lopevi and Yasur.

	@Seattle_Will, that's why I was able to get Vanuatu, Islands of Fire indeed

	This is one of those times a person wishes against the success of Spanish colonization. How can you get answers according to what the language looks like when so many of the countries use Spanish?

	finlay:	Jun 11th, 2011 at 13:06 GMT		8 points
	"Eyjafjallajökull" with ö (seeing as you did actually get Grímsvötn right next to it)

	finlay:	Jun 11th, 2011 at 13:16 GMT		2 points
	also they ought to be in a random order because they're currently in alphabetical order which potentially gives people a big hint...

	Nice quiz! One quibble with the Canary Island volcanoes: Tenerife and La Palma are not the name of volcanoes - the volcano located on the island of Tenerife is called el Teide (which is the highest point in Spain) and the volcano located on the island of La Palma is called Cumbre Vieja. I believe the volcano on the island of Lanzarote is just called Lanzarote Volcano, so that one is okay.

	Patrick_Greylock:	Jun 11th, 2011 at 15:56 GMT		2 points
	@ riddle_me_this: Both Tenerife and La Palma are considered volcanic complexes by the Smithsonian's Global Volcanism Program, and individual cones/edifices/peaks on either island is are not given there own entries. This quiz is based on the Smithsonian's system. Lanzarote has no volcano name because volcanism occurs from a series of fissure vents, not from stratocones like at Tenerife and La Palma.

	Half of this quiz was just naming the Ring of Fire countries. Of course, the other half was where I failed. :P

	Stran:	Jun 11th, 2011 at 18:43 GMT		4 points
	Had it not been for last year's volcanic ash fallout, with all the air traffic disruption, I'd never have heard of Eyjafjallajökull, so that was a big help!

	lizzyloo:	Jun 11th, 2011 at 18:51 GMT		1 point
	@packsoldier but it accepts "Congo" and isn't that short enough?

	packsoldier:	Jun 11th, 2011 at 21:50 GMT		1 point
	OK, but then how do you distinguish from the Republic of the Congo?

	Mick9:	Jun 11th, 2011 at 22:31 GMT		3 points
	I never would have gotten Portugal if Sao Jorge wasn't in parentheses.

	Very enjoyable. More landforms quizzes!

	i think visoke actually belongs to rwanda

	Patrick_Greylock:	Jun 18th, 2011 at 03:55 GMT		1 point
	@Kuroryuu: It's on the border between Rwanda and DRC according to GVP.

	skizzo:	Jun 19th, 2011 at 01:23 GMT		1 point
	its Faial not Fayal

	Patrick_Greylock:	Jul 6th, 2011 at 04:55 GMT		1 point
	@skizzo: If you check the source, you'll see that the GVP uses Spanish spelling for the Azores, in which case Fayal is the their official name for the volcano.

	The fact that it was in alphabetical order made it far to easy. I could just go through the alphabet thinking of countries with volcanoes in them and get them all regardless of wether I had ever heard of the volcanoes.

	Patrick_Greylock:	Oct 15th, 2011 at 16:09 GMT		2 points
	@jackmerlin: Looking at the results, you are one of the elite few for whom it was too easy. I think the alphabetizing makes it more fun for people who aren't as deft at guessing countries with volcanoes.

	Sully22:	Jul 27th, 2012 at 15:07 GMT		1 point
	@jackmerlin: I'm with you. I only knew 7 or 8 of them but managed to get all 29 answers by following the Pacific Rim and throwing out a couple guesses.

	Great Quiz. Very embarrassing that I didn't notice that it was in alphabetical order. Also that I didn't get my own country >.< You learn something new every quiz. Montagu, Soufrière Hills, Zavodovski ... I had to go and wiki those! B-)
