Final Jeopardy Answer for September 20

The correct answer for Final Jeopardy on September 20, 2024 is “What are the Mariana Islands?”

Due to the numerous island groups scattered across the vast Pacific Ocean known as Oceania, pinpointing the specific chain mentioned in the clue can be quite challenging.

Interestingly, it was the Mariana Islands that Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan initially discovered in the Pacific Ocean during the early 16th century.
