The flag raising of Iwo Jima occurred on which location?

• A. Mount Suribachi
• B. Mount McKinley
• C. Mount Everest
• D. Mount Kilimanjaro

Answer: (A)

Mount Suribachi is the highest point on Iwo Jima, a volcanic island in the Pacific. The famous flag raising refers to Marines raising the American flag atop Mount Suribachi during the Battle of Iwo Jima in February 1945, captured in the iconic photograph by Joe Rosenthal. That moment is what people remember about the flag raising on Iwo Jima. The other mountains listed are in different places (Denali in Alaska, Everest in the Himalayas, Kilimanjaro in Africa) and are not related to Iwo Jima.
