The Azores are closer to Europe than to North America by 2/3. Therefore the Azores are part of Europe. On the contrary, Iceland has a shorter distance by sea to North America than to Europe. Iceland is much closer to Greenland which is North America. Geographically then, Iceland belongs to North America. The most easterly poin of Iceland should be the most easterly point of North America, while the Azores should be the most westerly point of Eurasia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.140.37.112 (talk) 03:22, 13 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
