  1. Which country is known as the ‘Land of Thousand Lakes’?
    1. Norway
    2. Finland
    3. Canada
    4. Ireland
Correct Option: B

Finland is called ‘’the land of a thousand lakes,’’ but at last count, there were 187,888 of them - more lakes in relation to a country’s size than any other. Indeed, with a population of about five million, Finland has one lake for every 26 people. Most of the lakes are in a region that stretches from above Kuopio in the north to Lahti in the south, and from Tampere in the west to Punkaharju and the Russian border in the east. Its largest lake, Saimaa, is the fourth largest in Europe. The area with most lakes is called Finnish Lakeland.
