Some nice tricky ones on this one, especially the last on the second row. Kept running through all the island nations I could think of...

I did the same, then had a flash of insight. I pictured Ecuador in my mind and then realized that one of the islands to the left has one of the distinctive shapes of the Galapagos. Hard to notice if you're not looking for it.

I love these quizzes. They're really difficult because the scale is stripped out, so it really tests your perception. Only got 8 this first time, but will keep trying.

Should have gotten the first and third though. D'oh! .. 1st one just couldn't place, and the 3rd I think I would have gotten except it looked like an island. Should have seen that pointy tip on the bottom left... that kind of gives away that it's a peninsula. Doesn't look like coastline. But I didn't look closely enough.
