Friends , Please help me put up some more extremes. ..Looking forward to your suggestions

Hi satishgsk ,

First I wanted to say thank you! Awesome post, and lots of fun to tour the gloabe with your kmz.

I wanted to share that I think you may have the wrong island for the "Largest lake on a fresh water island"

You show North Manitou Island in Michegan, but I think the lake you are referring to is on Manitoulin Island in Canada. I attached the kmz just in case.

Keep it up. I can't wait to see what else get added to the list!.

Cheers

I think you are right .. i was wrong in placing it near michigan. will change the placemark ..
Thank you awaddington

Update : Mt. Baker, Washington : Snowiest Place On The Earth

Second:

Hell's Canyon, border of Oregon and Idaho, US.

Deepest gorge in the US (in the world?) at 8000 feet deep. By contrast, the Grand Canyon is "only" 6000 feet deep.

(ps - after making yet another marker at Mt Washington I decided to use an exisiting marker for Hell's Canyon - hope that's okay.)

And third for today:

Strongest Earthquake ever recorded:

1960, off the coast of Chile at magnitude 9.5!
