| While it is true that Mount Wai'ale'ale is the wettest place on earth on a daily basis, the answer for this quiz gets more total rainfall per year due to monsoons | |
| 'Longest River' was intentionally left off of this quiz due to the Amazon/Nile dispute | |
| While it is true that some parts of the Caspian Sea are fresh water, others are not. I'm looking for a entirely fresh water lake. | |
| Parts of antarctica, most notably the McMurdo Dry Valleys, are incredibly dry. However, I am looking for an answer in South America | |
| Many of these extremes are up to dispute. I have tried to be as specific as possible in the category the record is in, but some debated answers will remain (especially in driest | |
| and wettest places on earth). Feel free to make your voice heard by adding a comment. The other bonuses are meant to acknowledge disputed answers. | |
