 QUESTION #1
A little-known and lightly-visited attraction, it includes narrow chasms with steep cliff walls and a series of geological wonders to rival any of its more famous competition. (McInnis Canyons National Conservation Area) (This 123,400 acre conservation area is a collage of natural wonders featuring rugged sandstone canyons, natural arches, spires, and alcoves, all carved into the Colorado Plateau, through which runs a 24 mile stretch of the Colorado River. Many feel it rivals Utah's Arches National Park) Photos here! QUESTION #2
This lengthy body of water, one with three widely accepted names, partially separates two familiar countries. (Amur River) (The Amur River (Russian), or Heilong Jiang (Chinese), or Sahaliyan Ula (Manchu) is the world's ninth longest river, forming the border between far-southeastern Russia and northeastern China) QUESTION #3
An obscure fishing port known today by regional travelers for its convenient ferry service to the outer islands, is surprisingly bonded to a Texas town of the same name. (Harlingen, The Netherlands) (Travelers use the port to reach the West Frisian Islands, and the of Harlingen, Texas, is named after it because many of the original settlers of the Texas town came from Harlingen) QUESTION #4
This northern hemisphere magnet for modern-day, eco-tourism aficionados, was also a hit with an ancient group of people that constructed many sites in the immediate area. (Lake Izabal, Guatemala) (The Maya constructed temples and gigantic stone sculptures around this beautiful lake - and who could blame them - as the flora and fauna within the surrounding landscape are prolific) QUESTION #5
