How Good is Your Geographic? [4]

Ohhhh, arrived too late! Yes, I agree....I think it's near Madagascar too. Although I can't imagine many people know a great deal about the place other than its location.

jssboobled it...
I was dumb enough to confuse it with Komodo island and Komodo dragons which are indeed in Indonesia :\

..and hello there carrie!

[schmenke]

Just checked a map. ....

Um...


Yes, the Comoros Islands are located in the Indian Ocean, between the northern tip of Madagascar and the African continent.

You all can squabble for the next Q...

[Tazio]

OK I'll throw out another easy one:
What is the oldest continually occupied Euopean-established city in the US?

[schmenke]

Not sure I understand the Q, but I'll guess Boston.

[Tazio]

It is not Boston. This is not a complicated question. The US as all of us know was explored by several European countries, Spain, England, Portugal, France, and I'm probably leaving someone out.
These countries had settlements. I'm looking for the one that is the oldest and continually occupied into the present. Does that clear things up?
The reason I say European-established is because
Acoma Pueblo or "Sky City" in New Mexico has been continually occupied since roughly 1,000 CE
But it is not a city in the sense that we usually consider.
It was, and is more of a community.

That is the one

Thanks Doc.

I can't think of anything challenging, so I'll throw in this quickie...

Where can the Comoros Islands be found?

How funny, I was watching "The National Geographic Bee" on the Nat. Geo. Station last night, and there was a question about the Comoros Islands. Thanks to this thread I got it right

And handlers brought two species of wildlife—a southern ground hornbill from southern Africa and a red-ruffed lemur from an island near Madagascar—onstage before habitat questions were asked

Where can the Comoros Islands be found?

I felt very tempted to reply "On a stamp" but that's the Turks and Caicos Islands
