	If anyone finds a longer list of peninsulas pls let me know.

	wikipedia has the Iberian peninsula as including the whole of Spain, and thus reaching 582 860 km². http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iberian_peninsula Also, it was a bit harsh that we'd have to go "southern india".

	I always wonder what the exact definition of a peninsula is. I mean, if Southern India is one, why not the whole of Western Africa for example? There should be some clear mathematical or geographical rule...

	It wouldn't accept Iberia.

	I thought Southern India would be tough, but that's what the source says - it's not India, it's Southern India. NYClub: it accepts Iberian.

	Europe as a whole could even be considered a peninsula.

	As the Iberean Peninsula you should accept spain which I typed and also, if you can check I also think the Korea, Italian, Alaskan, or Turkish peninsula are big too and you might want to accept India instead of Southern India? And btw the one who got the Labrador peninsula did the quiz twice or live on it, no one knows what the name is of that one... 3/5

	Spain is not the name of the peninsula! The name's Iberian, including Spain AND Portugal.

	Though it would seem unreasonable, Europe could be added, perhaps as a bonus. Maybe just "India" could be added as an answer for Southern India.

	forgot the italian peninsula, korean peninsula, balkan peninsula, yucatan peninsula...theres a bunch more that can be added to this list

	You need to fix a definition of peninsula.

	what about kamchatka? a couple of different sources have it about 470K sq ft.

	old1school0:	Jan 31st, 2010 at 21:22 GMT	1 point
	yea, i couldve sworn kamchatka was on there, i thought i just wasnt spelling it right lol... Italy isnt that big but Yucatan seems like it would be pretty big as well, pretty good quiz though

	"Italian" peninsula = Apennine peninsula; "Turkish" peninsula = Anatolian peninsula; Also, the whole of southeast Asia (Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, etc...) is more of a peninsula than southern India

	Your source has converted like crap.. E.g Scandinavia. 309K sq mi is approx. 800K sq km, not 497K.
