I have no idea what Sognefjord is, yet still got it, for where else but Scandinavia could a name like that be found?

@ ItsJerry -- a kind of very narrow bay. Like a mountain valley filled with water I guess? Wikipedia is your friend: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fjord

Caused by glaciers. Have to be longer than they are wide to qualify. Besides Norway, there are lots in NZ, Chile, and the Americas (e.g. Chile, British Columbia, Alaska, Washington).

Yup I thought it was French too. Learned something today. Also now know that there are 7 merlions there (one is a mere mercub). Apparently finding them makes for a fun bike ride: Tour de Merlion

It's an entirely fake thing, made up for tourism publicity purposes. Lion=Singapore, lion city; Mer=Mermaid, surrounded by the sea. It was designed from scratch as a "tourist attraction".

No, but "lots of glacier geology and uses English terms for it" means the U.S. and Canada were the two obvious guesses.

It seems that lots of people forego traveling and exploring locally. When I lived in Philadelphia, I was astonished at how many people who lived there had never gone to see the Liberty Bell or Independence Hall. Many people were in their 20s and 30s and had lived in Philly their entire lives...

But they've heard of the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall, right? This isn't about a lack of exploration. I've been to 8 out of 10 provinces and I know my country very well, but I've never heard of Moraine Lake to visit it!

Same here, Canadian and never heard of Moraine Lake before, so I didn't try Canada. I had to google it afterwards to see where it was. I can only imagine that most of the people who did get the answer are non-Canadian who randomly typed Canada. How about replacing Lake Moraine with "Banff National Park", which is much more well-known and more worthy of being called a landmark on its own?

Moraine lake is actually gaining popularity. Some people prefer it over lake Louise. I've been to both but I'm not sure which one I prefer. The water is mesmerizing in both!

I'm German and I've only been to Toronto and the Niagara Falls before, but I have heard of Lake Moraine many times and seen tons of photos on Instagram....I think it's safe to say that this place is pretty popular.

I agree. China as well. Not that I don't know both, but most of the answers are clearly THE landmark of it's country, and while couple of others are questionable as well, these two most definitely aren't.

why do you persist with the fact that England is not a country???

The United Kingdom (UK) comprises four countries: England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. Within the United Kingdom, a unitary sovereign state, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales have gained a degree of autonomy through the process of devolution.

Because it is in fact not a country by international standards. On this website a country means a sovereign state. Not a semi-autonamous province.

Hence Hong Kong, Greenland, Zanzibar, Kurdistan etc are not countries.
