Greenland and Canada: Part of North America, Not Europe

Greenland and Canada are both geographically part of North America.

• Greenland: World's largest island; autonomous territory within the Kingdom of Denmark. Politically linked to Europe (Denmark/EU), but physically on the North American tectonic plate.
• Canada: Sovereign nation occupying northern North America.

Europe is a separate continent (the western peninsula of Eurasia). The North America–Europe boundary runs between Greenland and Iceland (Mid-Atlantic Ridge).
