	Another nice quiz! Unfortunately, I did not think outside the box tonight (or, rather, the Arctic circle).

	newenglander:	Jul 31st, 2011 at 07:20 GMT	3 points
	id thought of making this quiz for a while, but never really got excited about it since it would have been so short and heavily based on latitude. but since ive been short on ideas, i decided why not. interesting side note-this is the first quiz i've made of this type where chile made the cut but argentina didn't.

	Riko:	Jul 31st, 2011 at 09:37 GMT	4 points
	Wonderful quiz but could probably be a minute blitz. On a side note, when Argentina didn't work I actually skipped Chile but circled back to it when my other guesses didn't work.

Comment below threshold: show it

	This quiz started me pining...

	If I were you, I'd possibly take one of the mainland Danish fjords, like Limfjorden, Lammefjorden or Vejle Fjord.

	oracleofireland:	Jul 31st, 2011 at 19:57 GMT	9 points
	Out of order comment there 'HiddenPalace'...Good quiz Newenglander!! :)

	newenglander:	Jul 31st, 2011 at 20:24 GMT	10 points
	@andr5036-the mainland danish fjords actually aren't true fjords-they were carved out by glaciers moving onto the land from the sea, rather than from land into the sea. they're just called fjords because in the Danish language, fjord can refer to any long, narrow inlet

	Good Quiz, but please can you change "Loch Lynnie" to Loch Linnhe. Thanks.

	kzav:	Aug 1st, 2011 at 14:55 GMT	3 points
	Nice quiz!

	psubball1:	Aug 3rd, 2011 at 15:30 GMT	2 points
	I think a footnote is in order for this quiz...You should state that some of these Fjords are located in a countries "territory" or "autonomous region". ie - Denmark and France for the quiz.

	newenglander:	Aug 4th, 2011 at 00:39 GMT	4 points
	@psubball1-I usually do do that for these types of quizzes, but since there are so few countries, i decided to make it a bit more challenging. but under further consideration, i guess a not at the top won't hurt.

	Eagerly awaiting the sequel: countries with chejvies

	newenglander:	Aug 4th, 2011 at 13:53 GMT	1 point
	@xander-i seriously have no idea what you're referring to...neither does google

	barnztormre:	Aug 4th, 2011 at 14:16 GMT	4 points
	PINING FOR THE FJORDS??????

	BrentH:	Aug 4th, 2011 at 14:29 GMT	7 points
	Newenglander: I think Xander made a bad pun. Fords = fjords. Chevies = chejvies. Nice quiz, btw. Thank Goodness I tried Chile before I tried Argentina.

	newenglander:	Aug 4th, 2011 at 15:01 GMT	2 points
	oh, thanks-had to connect a couple of dots to figure that out

	jefrunner:	Aug 4th, 2011 at 15:22 GMT	7 points
	I was just surprised that the quiz title wasn't something like /Slartibartfast-gets-his-due.

	@jefrunner-good point. ive added a note at the top in his honor

I was hoping my hockey knowledge would come in handy here, but apparently the Messier Sound was NOT named after Mark Messier.

	As far as I'm concerned, a Spanish-speaking nation like Chile was just asking to be the least-guessed answer on this quiz when they gave one of their geographical landmarks a French name.

	Just being picky (but then I am a Sporcler), but the north side of Carlingford Lough is in the UK.

	jm4425:	Aug 5th, 2011 at 11:06 GMT	5 points
	But no locals would say Carlingford Lough isn't Irish.

	GPZ:	Aug 5th, 2011 at 20:57 GMT	3 points
	Good quiz, although I'm pretty the Icelandic one is called Dyrafjordur (Well, if I wanna be picky then it's Dýrafjörður but that's not important)

	Teary_Ennui:	Aug 7th, 2011 at 22:07 GMT	0 points
	You could add Montenegro too

	newenglander:	Aug 8th, 2011 at 01:13 GMT	5 points
	@tearyennui-montenegro has no fjords. a lot of those adriatic countries are often thought of as having fjords, but really they are called rias-river valleys with no history of glaciation that were submerged when the sea level rose. similar formation to fjords, but without the glaciers

	This might the one country where Norway has the first place. Yay!

	seba88arg:	Apr 12th, 2012 at 22:33 GMT	1 point
	Actually, Argentina has fjords, in Staten Island http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isla_de_los_estados#Geograf.C3.ADa
