Brussels? Must be one of the EU buildings right?
No sorry, that isn't correct, it's a bit more to the east.Quote:

I look on the wall at Africa's map and Benin comes to my mind.

So I'll try an easy one: name the "newest" area in Europe.
Whoops, sorry 'bout that! :)Quote:

It's not about a new state but about the period of time when that land was formed.
Caroline, you're quite close but it's not a country, just a region.
The Islands of the Aegean Sea?
No.
Is is some reclaimed land in the Netherlands, although the region's name escapes me (which is sort of the whole point of the Q)? :s

Any one else want to have a guess?
Clue no. 2: the place is a biosphere rezervation
Something to do with a river? Is this area affected by the recent oil spills from a ship breaking up?
River, yes. The oil incident was in the Black Sea.
Another clue, a triangle of a famous waltz?
Come on, Cossie! I know you can do it. :laugh:
Just name the "triangle".
OK, it seems that I'll have to answer it, I'm guessing the Danube Delta.
Yes. The Delta has been formed by the alluvial deposits brought by the Danube which flows here into the Black Sea.
Your turn, Cossie.
At least four countries lay claim to the Spratly Islands, name two of them.
Where are the Spratly Islands?
I'll say the Pacific Ocean, sorta north west parts there of! But not too far north!Quote:
