Game: Where-is-it? (international)

[Last]

close. Would also like the names of øya

[wobbly]

At the risk of being too specific and wrong again. Are you very close to Langenes Church on Langøya oya looking across to Andoya oya.

[Last]

That's fairly precisely correct. The church is just behind me. A word on norsk translation. øy means island. øya means the island. Langøya is the long island, Andøya is the duck island in case you're interested.

thanks Last. Any plans to get back to Norway? I'm hoping so myself.

This next one is from warmer climes but still in Europe

Definitely. I have relations there and it is such a fabulous place.

[wobbly]

That's a pretty big waterfall

[wobbly]

The two main features in this pic have the same name, as does the town just behind me. Did I mention its a *&%$#! huge waterfall.

Is this in Milford Sound? (A;though I don't remember that U-shaped valley.)

[eggs]

Yes - this is Milford Sound with the Lion [RHS} and the Elephant standing above Stirling Falls

[Graham51]

Sorry, I forgot to check.
This is in USA. Name the area and a bonus point for naming the feature.

I didn't think this would require a monumental effort with Google Images but I may have been wrong.

[ribuck]

It looks to me like the features one sees in Arches National Monument (which is not just about arches), but Google Images doesn't seem to confirm it.

Three Sisters, Monument Valley?

[Graham51]

Yes, John has it. It’s The Three Sisters at Monument Valley.

[johnw]

Thanks Graham. I wonder how many three/multiple sisters or brothers formations exist worldwide.

North America. Bonus point for naming both glacier and waterfall:

Mendenhall Glacier and Nugget Creek Falls, Tongass National Forest via Juneau, Alaska USA

Glacier is Medenhall, Nugget Creek Falls.

[johnw]

Glacier is Medenhall, Nugget Creek Falls.

That's it, Mendenhall Glacier and Nugget Creek Falls near Juneau in Alaska. So you get the bonus point. All yours.

[sandym]

Thank you. This one should be easy.

Skiing up which mountain in North America. Bonus points for route.

[sandym]

Hint: The mountain name is also a job title.

[icefest]

Doctors Peak

[sandym]

Think job that is edible.

[sandym]

Next hint, when a dozen has 13.

[icefest]

Confectioners Mountain!

[sandym]

Next hint: A well known volcano, could be a bun.

But I like Confectioners Mountain.

[johnw]

Going by the clues could be Mt Baker in the Cascade Range, Washington State.

[sandym]

Yes, Mount Baker. Route is the Coleman-Deming. Over to you JohnW.

[johnw]

Staying with North America. What NP town am I in?
