Two questions sharing the same answer (Turkey)?

I don't have a problem with it, per sé, but it is unusual.

(And caused me to spend a fair bit of time scratching my head trying to figure out what country Mount Ararat could possibly be in, if not Turkey, before I shrugged and tried anyway.)

I mean, it is in Turkey, but if one were convinced it wasn't, there is one pretty obvious alternative: Armenia, for which the mountain remains a national symbol (it appears on the Armenian coat of arms). It's also very close to the borders with Azerbaijan and Iran.

Man, I spent so much time trying to guess the southern portion of the Alps (Italy, Austria, etc) Never even knew there was an Alps in New Zealand, guess I learned something

Yeah, I guessed pretty much every Alpine country (Italy, Austria, Slovenia, Switzerland, Germany, France...), then countries that were somewhat close to the alps (Croatia, Hungary, Slovakia, Romania, Bosnia....) before finally saying "Is it not the actual Alps?" and guessed South Africa and finally New Zealand.

"Controls" is a very weird way of putting it. Can a volcano be controlled? A cathedral? A mountain range?

Agreed. Why not "where are these places?" Or something similar. Control is sounds way too colonial ...

But “Where are these places?” wouldn’t work for Gibraltar or the Azores.

In a way, yes, it can be controlled. If someone decides to put a house or use some land on the volcano, if you control it, you can claim it and make them go away/pay taxes. You can even control submarine volcano, if someone decides to fish around it, you can regulate those activities as it is your area.

You control the land where it is, you don’t control the thing itself.

There's a Hermitage in the mountains of NZ as well

but it's not a museum and it's not in the Southern Alps - and it closed permanently last weekend ;)

Surprised how low the scoring is, but I guess anyone is if they know the answers
