Fourteen questions on the places that turn up on every list of things to see before you die: the enormous canyon, the reef visible from orbit, the waterfall that falls so far it disperses into mist before landing, the rainforest that generates its own weather. What the quiz actually asks is usually not what the place is, but where it is, and that turns out to be the harder half. These landmarks are so heavily photographed that they exist in most people's minds as images detached from any map. You can picture the reef and hesitate over which country's coast it follows. It also covers a couple of things that are phenomena rather than places, visible only at certain latitudes or in certain conditions, and a few geological formations whose interest is in how they were made rather than how they look. Some of the answers are less famous than the wonder itself, which is the point.
Background and what to expect. No answers given away.
Almost every entry here holds a record of some kind: the tallest, the largest, the driest, the most biodiverse. That is usually why it entered public awareness in the first place, and it is what the questions test.
Where two candidates feel equally plausible, think about which one actually holds the record rather than which is better known. They are not always the same, and the wrong option is frequently the more famous of the pair.
A few of the world's most celebrated natural sights cannot be visited on demand. Polar light displays, seasonal migrations and certain atmospheric effects depend on latitude, season and conditions all aligning.
Questions about these ask where they can be observed rather than where they are, which is a subtly different thing and worth reading carefully.
Waterfalls, reefs, rainforests, sinkholes and inland seas all appear here, and in each case the interest is what water has done over time: carved, deposited, dissolved or concentrated.
One entry is remarkable specifically for what its water contains rather than what it does, which makes swimming in it a very different experience from anywhere else on the list.
Island groups cut off from any mainland develop species that exist nowhere else, and a few such archipelagos became scientifically famous for exactly that reason, shaping how we understand evolution.
If a question mentions species found nowhere else on Earth, it is almost certainly pointing at one of these.
Several natural landmarks carry a colonial-era name and an indigenous one, and in some cases the older name has been officially restored while the newer one remains in common use.
Where that applies, either name may appear. Recognising both is genuinely useful knowledge rather than trivia.
You know these places by sight and not by address. Nearly every question gives you something instantly recognisable and asks for the country, region or continent it sits in.
