RIVERS THAT FLOW NORTH
"To many Americans . . . , north is the wrong way for a river to flow, which leads to geographic confusion."
-- Angus Phillips, "Simple Gifts of the Shenandoah", National Geographic, December 1996
"The important thing to remember is that to a river, or more precisely to the drops of water that make up the river, "down" has nothing to do with compass points -- with latitude or longitude -- only with altitude."
2Surprisingly, four of the world's ten longest rivers flow generally in a northern direction. The Nile in Africa, the Ob-Irtysh and the Lena in Eurasia and the Mackenzie-Peace in North America."

I can think of the Nile (Egypt); Rhine, Loire, Elbe, Oder, Vistula (all in Europe), and Dvina, Pechora, Ob (all in Russia). In Britain there's the Findhorn, Spey, Trent and Eden.
