South America - San Martin (because now I've got a fixed idea on "san"s ).
Europe - I don't know. Finland is known as the county of the 1000 lakes. Maybe there.
Not what I was looking for.Quote:

I'm not good with Lakes :erm:
I thought for North America it was Crater lake but I looked it up and saw I was wrong.
It's neither.Quote:

My source said Crater, but I will double check a little later today when I get a chance.Quote:

Three more to go, any takers?
There are not many participants on this thread. So if there aren't more guesses by the time I check in tomorrow morning (my time), someone else can pose a question.
Still looking for Europe, Australia and Antarctica.
I probably should have known that :rolleyes: :mark:Quote:

The microbial life scientists found in a saltwater Antarctic lake's -13C slush seems to lend some credence to the theory of similar (extraterrestrial) life in sub-zero frozen lakes on Europa :bulb:Quote:

Since we've got the answers, it's about time for a new question methinks! :cool:
Doc, Gregor-y, anyone? :)
I'll ask a question then if you don't mind. ;)
A landlocked country surrounded only by other landlocked countries may be called a "doubly landlocked" country. A person in such a country has to cross at least two borders to reach a coastline.
There are currently only two countries in the world that are "doubly landlocked". Name those two countries s'il vous plait. :bandit:
Liechtenstein is one, but I forget the other. We had this Q not that long ago :(
I know, I asked it. :laugh: I was hoping you all had forgotten. :)Quote:

Uzbekistan is right! :up:Quote:

Hahah, i thought It was one of them, umm ok, which country is ranked 9th in terms or largest land area?
India?
Greenland?
Uzbekebekebekistanstan
India is 7th and Greenland doesn't feature on my top 10 list, oh and neither Uzbekebekebekistanstan ;)
Sudan?
Oh close! I think that's 10th, or was 10th until it split into two countriesQuote:

balls... I knew it was one of the Zikhizakhistans :p
Thanks. Kazahkstan was a wild guess :mark: .
O.k., I'll give this newly restored thread another try with this:
The Kunene is one of only a handful of perennial rivers in Africa, and is a natural border for much of its length between which two countries?
Rwanda and Burundi?
Nope.
Uganda and Kenya?
