It's a nice quiz, just a couple of comments: a) Accept just Denmark. It is impossible to guess you meant us to write "Denmark (Greenland)"; I tried both Denmark and Greenland for my only missing country before giving up in frustration. b) I think the time should be cut, 10 minutes lets it become a pure guessing game. I think 6 or 7 minutes should be fine, or 5 if you want to make it tough.

Couldn't have said it better myself. I agree with everything AlexRandom said -- literally everything!

Thanks. Made the corrections and suggestions and I think I fixed the bonus answers.

Perhaps Greenland could be accepted, for Denmark otherwise is a flat, coastal, partially island nation.

every other geography quiz accepts denmark when mentioning greenland since denmark owns the land, so just let denmark be accepted

Your source is more like a list of "some" glaciers, but definitely not all glaciers. Afghanistan, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, and Mongolia all have hundreds, if not thousands, of glaciers.

zzyzx501: Thanks, you're right. Unfortunately, I can't find a complete list. I'll keep working on it.

Just curios: Where are the UK's glaciers? Do you mean their share of Antarctica?

Why are Australia and UK out of alphabetical order? Otherwise interesting quiz.

Not sure why. They are the two "extra" ones, if that means something.

You need to add Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda. These both have glaciers on the Rwenzori Range of mountains.

Added DRC and Uganda. I had previously read that their glaciers had disappear, but I guess they have a few left.

Bhutan needs to go before Bolivia and Bulgaria if it's in alphabetical order. That's the only one i didn't get because I was looking for a country to fit the pattern.
