Title: The Netherlands isn't flat
Post by: SkyPesos on October 20, 2021, 02:03:54 PM
You see this little change in elevation here? I know is subtle, but still shows that it's not flat.

Whoa hold on a second, the Netherlands isn't the Grand splendor that is Illinois.  I say shenanigans to this thread unless it turns into a conversation about what roads in the Netherlands are haunted.

The Nether in Minecraft actually is haunted. In fact, it was added to the game on Halloween.

Proof that Amsterdam isn't flat: the canals are at a different elevation than the streets.

True and the Netherlands gets compared to Louisiana in terms of how some of their cities are under sea level.

The Netherlands aren't flat.

We don't stray from the teaching of Lord Carhorn here.

Ask Max Verstappen, he might be able to give you an opinion on that.

One thing's for sure, the Zandvoort circuit isn't flat.

But in Baku, his Tyre became flat.

The highest point in the mainland Netherlands is the Vaalserberg aka Dutch mountains.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaalserberg

However if we include overseas territories, the highest point is Mount Scenery in the island of Saba in the Caribean Sea.

Heh, I used that phrase a couple times in the most recent "Illinois is flat"  thread.

Depends.  If they're A's, then there's just a tiny knoll.  DD's on the other hand...

Saba is not an overseas territory, though.  It is a constituent country of the Netherlands–except that it and the other two public bodies (openbaar lichaam) do not form a province.  Its residents vote in both Senate and House elections.

It is not part of the EU, but that doesn't mean it isn't part of the Netherlands.
