Saba's airport runway is just 400 meters long — the shortest commercial runway in the world, with cliffs at both ends. This tiny Dutch Caribbean island is essentially one dormant volcano rising steeply from the sea, yet it contains the highest point in the entire Kingdom of the Netherlands. With no beaches, a population under 2,000, and a road that engineers once declared impossible to build, Saba packs extraordinary stories into just 13 square kilometers.
Each round presents 10 randomized questions from a pool of 50, with four multiple-choice options and instant feedback after every answer. Your final score comes with a performance tier and shareable results.
You'll explore Saba's four villages, the legendary road built by Josephus Hassell, Mount Scenery's cloud forest, the Saba Marine Park and Pinnacles dive sites, traditional Saba lace crafts, the medical school, Saba Spice, the island's volcanic geology, its Dutch governance history, and how Saba survived (and was devastated by) major hurricanes.
Saba is a small volcanic island in the northeastern Caribbean Sea, located approximately 28 km southwest of Sint Maarten and about 300 km east of Puerto Rico. It is a special municipality of the Netherlands.
The Juancho E. Yrausquin Airport on Saba has a runway of just 400 meters (1,312 feet) — widely cited as the world's shortest commercial runway. It ends with cliffs on both sides and only specific small aircraft such as the Twin Otter are certified to land there.
Mount Scenery on Saba, at 877 meters (2,877 feet), is the highest point in the entire Kingdom of the Netherlands. It rises higher than any point in the European part of the Netherlands, which is largely flat and below sea level.
