Game: Where-is-it? (international)

[Hallu]

Yes that's it. The Alps have at least 5 "Lac Blanc" , most people know t he one near Chamonix, but the others are actually more photogenic, and this one is just gorgeous in autumn.

Thanks Hallu, that reminds me of a hilarious attempt to order a cup of white coffee in French many years ago in Paris. Love to go for a wander around the alps one day.

A few weeks ago in the South Pacific:

Mont Aorai - Tahiti Nui, French Polynesia

We really don't want to leave, captain...

[johnw]

Colonially speaking, Angleterre arrived here first mes amies.

Samoa?

From the clues I would think Tahiti was the most likely, but I have no idea what the peak is called. And this isn't a formal guess because Ii don't have any accessible overseas images. Really should get some slides scanned.

That has gotten much closer to the answer NNW, it is on Tahiti (Nui). Get your scanner out .
A further clue - if I zoom out a fair way I'm facing the main port waterfront.

[johnw]

There are two significant peaks on Tahiti Nui. This is the lesser of the two.

Mount Aorai?

[johnw]

Mount Aorai?

Yes eggs. 2nd highest mountain in Tahiti at 2066 m (or maybe 3rd, depending on the source) and apparently rarely climbed. There is a decent hike that goes to around 1400 m. We were only in port for a short-ish day so it wasn't an option, but did manage a 4WD trip into one of the valleys east of there.

Scratching a bit - this is near a major river in NZ

Crystal clear mountain streams converging on the Dart River mouth at Lake Wakatipu near the community of Kinloch.

At the head of a major lake

A short walk from a quiet spot where walkers often stay before heading off on a Great Walk

[Walk_fat boy_walk]

Dart?

[eggs]

That will do.
There are a number of crystal clear streams that converge on the Dart as it empties its murky waters into Lake Wakatipu near the community of Kinloch.

Thanks. NZ again...

Wonderful shot. And you can just see a cascade as part of the saddle.

[Walk_fat boy_walk]

Yep from one end of the dart to the other... The shot is taken from just above cascade saddle (the saddle proper is actually behind me but cascade saddle is broadly correct).

Anyone else can go next.

It's been several days. Here's a new pic. Europe. I will not be too pedantic about the precision of the answer.

[johnw]

Is it somewhere in Iceland?

[Last]

No, but we are on an island.

[johnw]

No, but we are on an island.

If I'm the only one playing, not likely to make much progress on this one without more clues.
Is it somewhere is Scandinavia?

[Last]

yes to Scandinavia. That's a fjord.

[johnw]

yes to Scandinavia. That's a fjord.

Isfjorden, Norway?

[Last]

Considerably further north (and we are on an island)

[GregR]

Svalbard then.

[wobbly]

Langoya Island?

[Last]

Langoya is correct. All yours wobbly.

[wobbly]

Thanks Last
this next one is from the land of Trump
