January Extra Credit

This will be your last chance to get extra credit for geography for the 2nd Marking Period. These are the National Geographic questions that come directly from the magazine. As usual, each question is worth 2 points of extra credit and answers must be turned in on a 3x5 notecard.

1. Hunza, a region in the Karakoram Range, is near what country's borders with India, Afghanistan, and China?

2. What is the name of the cape that forms the southwestern tip of the island of Great Britain?

3. Which southernmost country of the Lesser Antilles is a major exporter of liquefied natural gas?

4. Electricity from the Snare River powers the capital of Canada's Northwest Territories. Name this city.

5. In the spring or summer, guests can rent a historic cabin or visit a Viking museum in the Lofoten Islands in which country?
