The day before Christmas can be a busy one. Just take a glance inside any mall, it’s likely to crowded with last-minute holiday shoppers. But for our Geo Quiz today, we were looking for a place where there are no crowds. It’s a cluster of islands in the North Atlantic about halfway between Iceland and Norway.

So which place are we talking about?
