geographic/geographical

[GeneD]

Hawaii is one of the most fascinating places in the world to get a clear view of the night sky. This is because of the island's geographical setting.

Would it be correct to say "geographic" instead of "geographical"?

Yes.

The two words appear to be interchangeable. [link]

Neither word adds anything to the sentence.

My extra thanks for the link, Rover KE. It's really helpful because it's been a (vague) question in my head (about the possible interchangeability of the two suffixes in some words) for a long time, and the article on the forum you gave the link to sheds some more light for me on the issue.
