And you call yourself a Canadian? Much, much higher.

It is not Brazil, although it is equatorial or at least pretty close to equatorial.

Yes...but Geography was not my strong subject in school

Or I was thinking of islands.

[Bilbo1967]

1 million lakes? It can't be higher than that, surely?

You know, I thought of the 1000 Islands when I read the question. I remember a great hotel in Gananoque.

It can be, I will point to this google map showing just a portion of northern Manitoba and Saskatchewan as a hint.

If you haven't already, I would highly recommend the 1000 Island Dinner Cruise if you get the chance.

I think the last four points left might be tough to get, but it's still pretty much up for grabs. I'l give you until noon my time (6:00pm board time I think) then the leader gets the victory.
