Remarks
- Madeira and the Canary Islands are not part of Europe, while Cyprus is seen as such, although there are opinions that it is part of both Europe and Asia.
- The arctic islands of Russia are considered European if they are located west of the Yamal Peninsula . This concerns the archipelago of Franz Josef Land , Novaya Zemlya , Kolgujew and Waigatsch . Svalbard falls into the same group.
- Greenland , on the other hand, is included in North America.
- Bolshoi Beryosovy's data were estimated from maps.
