What do you know about geography? Have some fun by answering our questions or posing some of your own during our Great Geography Quiz Live Chat.
Memorial University professor Judith Adler recently made news — and ruffled a few feathers — suggesting her university students couldn't answer basic geography questions, such as pointing out the Atlantic Ocean on a map.

Geography aficionado John Riche is joining us to ask and answer questions. It all starts at 2 p.m. NT. , 1:30 p.m. in most of Labrador.
