Ha, did the same, tried Isle of Dogs and then couldn't think of any other islands in London. Didn't think of the whole country being an island.

Maybe the picture could be better, like a pic of the queen or a cup of tea or something, the Underground makes me think specifically of London not the UK.

Could you include United Kingdom/UK as additional answers for Great Britain? That will make it consistent with the other geography quizzes on this site. Nice quiz! I liked the picture choices. :)

The United Kingdom/UK is not synonymous with Great Britain.The UK includes Northern Ireland and several smaller surrounding islands. Great Britain is just the island that contains England, Scotland, and Wales.

That would not be consistent. No other featured quizzes accept UK for the name of the island of Great Britain.

There are plenty in the DR. And this particular building is caved in and located in Haiti, where it was destroyed in the 2010 earthquake.

Design reminiscent of French Colonial architecture. Directly adjacent to slums. Looks like Haiti to me, and I didn't even notice the roof was caved in until Jiaozira pointed that out.

Life would suck if Tasmanian Devils became an invasive species and they were as common as pigeons or squirrels.

Jamaica has a really cool flag.

Alcatraz needs to be reopened as a prison because the idea of having a penal institution on an island within sight of San Francisco is slightly awesome.

"Great British Isles" isn't something I have ever heard of before. The archipelago I believe you are talking about are commonly referred to as several names, including the British Isles or the British-Irish Isles. The Irish and UK governments call them "these isles" in any documents that they create jointly (like the Good Friday Agreement).

There is also the term "British Islands" is different again - it's the UK, Isle of Man and Channel Islands.

Loved the quiz! I would love it if the "World Islands" or "Palm Jebel Ali" from the United Arab Emirates were included. They are beautiful man-made islands and they aren't hard to recognize.

'Hawaii' is just as correct as an Anglicism. The symbol inbetween the i's looks like an apostrophe, but it is actually a seperate symbol which isn't used in English.

Would be much better, if we could not guess randomly for all pictures, but only the specific choice, we marked. It is easy to get a couple by mistake while guessing another picture.

Ok, but the central city, including the part shown on the photo, is on the island. Yes there's lots of green in the mountainous centre, but "downtown" Hong Kong is on the island (of Hong Kong).

The original British colony was just the island; the rest of the colony grew out from there with the New Territories (the mainland part) annexed later.
