I think it is.....don't know the official name. In romanian we call it "Groapa Marianelor'' - meaning the Marianas' Hole and it's located in Pacific Ocean. Don't know its depth.....
yes it is the Marianer trench, but location needs to be a bit more specific (which part of the Pacific.)Quote:

Mind if I throw one in, as I was just reading about this geographic curiosity...
There are three recognized “triple islands” in the world, that is, an island that is on an island that is itself on an island.
Name the countries where they are located. Hint two are in the same country (so you only need to name two countries :p: ).
Bonus points if you name the area, or the main (largest) island.
Double bonus points if you name the books on which these islands were written. Joking... :mark: :p: :dozey: .
I don't know the islands but I can name the books.....
Iceland and Greenland.
I would guess one or two are in northern Canada with maybe the Philippines being the other?
Two are in Canada, yes, but only one in the north. The other is on a relatively well-known island.
The other is in the Philippines, yes. I don't expect anyone to name the island (arguably :erm: ), so you can read about it here:

I still want the name of the Canadian island though :arrows:
As a Canuck, I believe that Manitoulin Island is the one you're looking for.
As a Canuck, I believe you are wrong. At least not the island I'm thinking of.
Think further east.
The only other obvious choice is Newfieland
Yes b'ye!
The other island is Victoria Island, Northwest Territories. More reading here:

Either anfield5 or edv have a go :) .
I was thinking the lake in a lake thing with Manitoulin Island....not the island on an island thing!
Silly me!
edv can ask, he/she (sorry I have no way of knowing :)) seems to know I was just guessing at two countries with heaps of islands
We all pretty much know that the 4 longest rivers are the Nile, Amazon, Yangtze and Mississippi.
But what are the 4 largest rivers measured by *Discharge* ?
Amazon I think is number one
Congo
Orinoco
Mekong
Didn't think anyone would guess the Orinoco. You're not googling are you?
1.Amazon
2.Congo
3.?
4.Orinoco
The Volga?
Not Volga
1.Amazon
2.Congo
3.?
4.Orinoco
No, if I was I probably would have got all 4 :). For whatever reason geography is a topic/subject that seems to stick in my mind quite well. Plus Orinoco is the name of my favourite WombleQuote:
