Wonders of America Trivia Stamp #4

SPOILER ALERT — READ TRIVIA POSTS IN ASCENDING ORDER. Enter "Wonders" and click on "SEARCH THIS BLOG" at the top of this page to find previous posts.

New Question on Stamp #4:

What is the largest glacier in America?

Hint: It isn't a Big Gulp Slurpee at 7-11.

Answer will appear in post with "Stamp #5" in the title.

Answer to Previous Question on Stamp #3:

The tallest type of cactus is the Saguaro. The saguaro cactus, symbol of the American Southwest, can grow taller than a five-story building! One record-breaking specimen in Arizona reached a height of nearly 60 feet. A saguaro grows slowly; a ten-year-old plant may be less than six inches high.


On May 27, 2006, the U.S. Postal Service released the Wonders of America stamp collection. There are 40 stamps that feature natural and man-made wonders of the United States. The front of each stamp illustrates the superlative nature of a particular place or thing and the name or location of the featured wonder. Text on the back of each stamp provides relevant statistics and other interesting information.

For this game, I'll ask the question and in the next post of this series, give the answer and whatever other info that's on the back of the stamp.
