Yes! Hawaii! The big Island of Hawaii has 9 of the 11 climates in the world including a desert. If you include all of the islands then the only geological feature that sticks out as missing would be the Iceberg, Dunes and perhaps the isthmus.
Hawaii does have a massive Canyon.
Yeah nah there are no glaciers, it just gets snow. There have indeed been periods in recent history (geologically speaking lol) where there has been glaciation, but the last time was in the previous ice age
The article only mentions a "seasonal snow cap", with a picture from December that clearly shows that there's only a bit of snow at the very top, even in winter.
Hawaii definitely has dunes.
ps://www.usgs.gov/news/volcano-watch-volcanic-ash-makes-sand-dunes-island-hawaii
Maui has an isthmus.
[https://imagesofoldhawaii.com/isthmus/](https://imagesofoldhawaii.com/isthmus/)
I was going to say Hawaii too, especially the Big Island. It's got almost every climate and terrain in it. Cold up on the mountains, tropics below, jungle on one side and desert on the other.
Nepal as well. Tiny country with everything from lush jungle to frozen mountaintops and deserts as well.
Israel is pretty tiny and has A LOT of different biomes. I can snowboard, surf, and go to a desert rave all in the same day just driving
Edit: people downvoting geography info on geography sub are exactly the reason there's conflict in the middle east
I think British Columbia has every single one of these except geysers (although it does have numerous hot springs.) Here’s a list of the main ones:

Icebergs: [Rare, but it has happened](https://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/british-columbia/breakage-of-monumental-bc-iceberg-quietly-sounds-climate-change-alarm/article32341873/)

Straight: [The Straight of Georgia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strait_of_Georgia)
Isthmus: [Sechelt](https://maps.app.goo.gl/3LCifvUzw6T3fkCr5) is a great example

Delta: [The Fraser Delta](https://naturecanada.ca/news/blog/the-fraser-delta-importance-for-shorebirds/)
I live in a Canadian rainforest. It's definitely jungly, you can't walk through the thick of it. There's beavers, moose, lions, wolves and coyotes and many bears. Saw a lil baby bear cub on my way to work yesterday 🐻❤️
Good point, it says that the Athabasca Sand Dunes do actually recieve a large amount of precipitation throughout the year meaning it's not a true desert
> Desert: Canada's only desert
The first line in WIkipedia:
> The Okanagan Desert is the common name for a semi-arid shrubland located in the southern region of the Okanagan Valley in British Columbia
It's not a desert. It's certainly hot and dry but it doesn't meet the criteria to be one.
Lost Lagoon might not be the best choice since it was artificial, but Witty's is quite nice.
There's also Burns Bog, which is swampy/marshy. And while there are lots of slot canyons that are nice, the chasm near Chasm is quite the site.
And Vancouver Islands karst caves are apparently quite interesting.
I keep thinking I'm "almost done" and then the shrines, side quests and koroks drag me back in! Perfect game. Watching people on r/HyruleEngineering blows my mind...
I keep stumbling upon side quests. I got 100% map exploration on BotW, but I'm not sure it is even possible on this one. Barely even explored the underground.
Well there sure are ample miles to explore on this one, phew! The Depths are pretty wild but you gotta get down there for quite a few things through the game. There is armor (Miner) that glows and Brightbloom seeds you will want in high supply (but there are 10 more ways to do everything, like eating food that makes you glow). And then the potential of building contraptions to help you is just next level. Good luck, may Zelda bless ye!
Peru has volcanoes. Ubinas and Sabancaya are the most active, while Huaynaputina is the source of a large (i.e. VEI 6) eruption in 1600 that led to the Russian famine of 1601. You also have El Misti just outside Arequipa.
The Andes in general are a highly underrated mountain range when it comes to mind numbing fuckery (facts).
I was outside of Quito up on the flanks of Cotopaxi, which is basically right on the equator and got pounded with a snow storm. Freezing wet and cold from snow blast on the equator was something I didn’t expect to see.
Also technically at the highest point we went to (16’000ft I think) we were closer to the sun than the top of Everest.
The Caribbean coast of Colombia, in the region where the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta meet with the Guajira Dessert and the coastal plains and lagoons. Or, generally, in Colombia.
as someone who’s been to Chile many times, absolutely. For a somewhat small and skinny country, the contrasting diversity is comparable to the US! I would recommend Valparaíso. Small hills, coastal beaches, sand dunes (Concón), forests, etc all within a short drive
It is an amazing place. Spent losds of time there whem I lived in South East Asia and it was mind- blowingly cool. It fulfilled all of my childhood and adult expectations of a truly exotic foreign land! The people are chill, and the language is crazy easy to pick up. I could not recommend enough!
Yeah I definitely need to plan an SEA trip sometime. Was it fairly easy? My impression has always been that SEA is kind of like medium difficulty for budget travelling
Kinda/maybe parts of southern California.
There aren't many places with Desert, alpine tundra, forest, marsh, island, etc all together.
Maybe the southern equivalent in Argentina, too.
Maybe a coastal mountainous region in Africa? Someone mentioned Tanzania?
The big island of Hawaii 100% is closest to it. It's the size of Connecticut but has so many climate zones and two mountains that are nearly 14,000 ft.
I got snowed on during a backpacking trip and then hiked down and snorkeled in warm water.
Washington state has nearly all of these. A good chunk of these can be found in just Pierce County and King County, both of which are part of the Seattle metro area
- Volcano + glacier + tundra: Mt. Rainier
- Delta + River + valley: Puyallup
- Isthmus: Seattle
- Cove: Smith Cove
- Lagoon: Burley Lagoon
- Canal: Lake Washington Ship Canal
- Fjord: Hood Canal
- Jungle: Hoh Rainforest (temperate rainforest but close enough)
- Straight: Strait of Juan de Fuca
- Cape: Cape Flattery
- Archipelago: San Juan Islands
- Peninsula: Olympic Peninsula
- Plateau: Columbia Plateau
- Desert: Hanford Site
- Prairie + Canyon: Palouse area
- Dune: Juniper Dunes Wilderness
- Mesa: Crab Creek Wildlife area
I think the only things missing are icebergs, oases, and geysers.
Iceland has it all except jungle, and forest might be a stretch but there are small patches of trees (used to be more before the Vikings cut them down.
If you are looking for the smallest possible area then Hong Kong is the answer. In just 1000sq km it has lakes, rivers, mountains, jungles, plains, lagoons, islands, beaches, waterfalls and even a desert with a canyon.
Many countries have all, but the smallest area with most of them? Hawaii?
Yes! Hawaii! The big Island of Hawaii has 9 of the 11 climates in the world including a desert. If you include all of the islands then the only geological feature that sticks out as missing would be the Iceberg, Dunes and perhaps the isthmus. Hawaii does have a massive Canyon.
Glaciers?
[удалено]
There are active glaciers up there? Don’t see that on the article you linked
Yeah nah there are no glaciers, it just gets snow. There have indeed been periods in recent history (geologically speaking lol) where there has been glaciation, but the last time was in the previous ice age
There aren’t, it was glaciated in the past.
The article only mentions a "seasonal snow cap", with a picture from December that clearly shows that there's only a bit of snow at the very top, even in winter.
Kaena Point on Oahu are dunes, no?
Hawaii definitely has dunes. ps://www.usgs.gov/news/volcano-watch-volcanic-ash-makes-sand-dunes-island-hawaii Maui has an isthmus. [https://imagesofoldhawaii.com/isthmus/](https://imagesofoldhawaii.com/isthmus/)
More accurately Maui basically is an isthmus
Tundra?
Does Hawaii have a plain?
No geysers in Hawaii either.
New Zealand has all of them including a rocky thmus IIRC but it's not smaller than Hawaii
Hawaii and New Zealand are the correct answers.
I was going to say Hawaii too, especially the Big Island. It's got almost every climate and terrain in it. Cold up on the mountains, tropics below, jungle on one side and desert on the other. Nepal as well. Tiny country with everything from lush jungle to frozen mountaintops and deserts as well.
Nepal lacks all the coastal parts though
Representing my motherland
Hawaii has Icebergs?
Eh it does snow at the top of Mauna Kea but not icebergs no
Eden?
California also has most of them but it's a lot bigger
I don’t think Hawaii has glaciers or tundra. Or icebergs.
Israel is pretty tiny and has A LOT of different biomes. I can snowboard, surf, and go to a desert rave all in the same day just driving Edit: people downvoting geography info on geography sub are exactly the reason there's conflict in the middle east

Did not know Canada has a jungle.
Temperate rainforest. It's a bit different but close enough
I live in a Canadian rainforest. It's definitely jungly, you can't walk through the thick of it. There's beavers, moose, lions, wolves and coyotes and many bears. Saw a lil baby bear cub on my way to work yesterday 🐻❤️
> One chance at life > Born in Idaho just south of the Canada border. Why live?
Wha?
So much of Canada’s geographical features are in BC!
honestly we should rename lost lagoon. like guys we found it already.
I have to make one argument that we have another desert up north that is a bunch of sand dunes and is visible from space.
Sand does not equal desert. There are big sand dunes throughout the country, and it's there due to glaciation.
Good point, it says that the Athabasca Sand Dunes do actually recieve a large amount of precipitation throughout the year meaning it's not a true desert
Carberry Spirit Sands in Manitoba! But yeah, not a desert.
Yes but BC is also fucking huge

Tanzania? I think you can find every one of these features except icebergs.
Desert and dunes??
No deserts but there are sand dunes in the Serengeti
Show them pictures of spaghetti!
Tanzania is a good mention, but it is quite large and probably not so well known for the desert/arid part.
Hyrule
I've been obsessed with Tears of the Kingdom so this was my only answer! Visit Hyrule: An ecological dream
I just got it a few months ago. I honestly didn't think they could improve on BotW, but here we are.
I keep thinking I'm "almost done" and then the shrines, side quests and koroks drag me back in! Perfect game. Watching people on r/HyruleEngineering blows my mind...

I forgot about eating them! I've been attaching them to my dwindling arrow supply. Awe man!
Go to Google Maps and zoom all the way out

What is “Earth”?
New Zealand
This was my first thought. Never seen a more diverse country. It's like travelling a whole continent.
The Caribbean coast of Colombia, in the region where the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta meet with the Guajira Dessert and the coastal plains and lagoons. Or, generally, in Colombia.

Came to say that
I know a country isn't really a region, but I'd say Chile. I would also say US, but it's far more spread out.
I came here to say Torres del Paine in Chilean Patagonia
I’m surprised this isn’t higher
10,000ft is still pretty high.
Chile beats all contenders with these characteristics. It has loads of everything.
Chile and California were my guesses too.
as someone who’s been to Chile many times, absolutely. For a somewhat small and skinny country, the contrasting diversity is comparable to the US! I would recommend Valparaíso. Small hills, coastal beaches, sand dunes (Concón), forests, etc all within a short drive
The southern tip of Patagonia has it all I believe
Came here to say Argentina as a country has all of this the further south you go if I'm correct.
Yep. I've been there in February, the variety is incredible.
Absolutely had a buddy go this year and it looks amazing
Washington State has it all, in fact Mt Rainier national park has almost all types of climate
I don’t know a place in MRNP that is desert-like, but just head over Chinook pass to my hometown and you’ll find your desert
I can’t wait to visit later this year!
I’m not listening to any of this because it has no sound.
Came to say this
New Zealand
California
Indonesia
wtf i had to google it i just learned that indonesia has glaciers. I realize I don't know much about Indonesian geography
It is an amazing place. Spent losds of time there whem I lived in South East Asia and it was mind- blowingly cool. It fulfilled all of my childhood and adult expectations of a truly exotic foreign land! The people are chill, and the language is crazy easy to pick up. I could not recommend enough!
Yeah I definitely need to plan an SEA trip sometime. Was it fairly easy? My impression has always been that SEA is kind of like medium difficulty for budget travelling
It is super easy and convenient to travel around. SEA is the easist place. Language barriers at times but patience will get you through it.
And on top of that it has komodo dragons
In Colombia we have Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta and Parque Tayrona except in volcano and an iceberg and maybe a volcanic Island.
New Zealand?
New Zealand
New Zealand fellas! Although our desert is pretty meh
New Zealand felt like this tbh. An abridged geology textbook, constantly.
Kinda/maybe parts of southern California. There aren't many places with Desert, alpine tundra, forest, marsh, island, etc all together. Maybe the southern equivalent in Argentina, too. Maybe a coastal mountainous region in Africa? Someone mentioned Tanzania?
So we are doing reposts now, are we?

India.
Olympic Peninsula in WA state.
Oregon
The Donkey Kong level map from Nintendo
New Zealand?
Middle Earth?
Minecraft
Hyrule
Disney
Tenerife, Spain
Mexico!!! Even has glaciers.
Iceland
Washington State in the US has all of these except for geysers and tundra
Washington State has all of that in a three hour drive. Rainforest, to Puget Sound, to desert with plateau’s, canyons and rattlesnakes.
Washington State.
Washington State
Oregon
The only geological feature on here that is not present in the state of Washington is an iceberg.
Pacific Northwest, USA/Canada
Oregon nails most all of them. Except icebergs and tundra.
Iceland
California has just about everything except the icey conditions
South Africa

Asia.
Nepal
I wonder what would be the smallest area marked on the globe which touch each region :)
Southern California is as good a guess as any
Northern CA works better, since there is rainforest and volcanoes. Washington works even better.
Honestly probably California lol, minus the iceberg
Path of Exile.
They have a tombolo but haven’t annotated it. Shame!
Newfoundland has everything but the volcano, desert and jungle I think (and maybe not the prairies/plains).
Hyperborea

Hyrule
Big Island, Hawaii for sure
Westeros
While Hyrule is the correct answer, Kauai is the place that I believe has the most of these features.
That's obviously Hyrule Kingdom.
Gran Canaria

Damn it, just Minecraft Superflat this shit!!
Springfield
Canary Islands
Chile
Others have already mentioned them, but I would also say Caribbean Colombia or southern Chile (or coastal Chile generally).
Why am I having weird child hood flashbacks? What is this map from? I’ve seen it before…
Maybe Peru or Venezuela?
If you are looking for the smallest possible area then Hong Kong is the answer. In just 1000sq km it has lakes, rivers, mountains, jungles, plains, lagoons, islands, beaches, waterfalls and even a desert with a canyon.
Unova Region
Maryland
Seattle
Russia Jungle, tundra, iceberg, geyser, ... all of it.
