Greenland part of North America?

If Greenland is part of North America then Cape Spear is not the easterly point on the continent, as some have suggested in recent debate. CBC News

Is Greenland even counted in the total surface area of North America? --Madchester June 29, 2005 15:48 (UTC)

When records are set for North America to Europe transatlantic sailings, rowing, flights, etc. they never originate from Greenland. I believe that it is premature to write in this article any reference to Greenland as the most easterly point in North America.

Maybe we should also have a look at the most westerly point of Europe as it would fall to Saint-Pierre and Miquelon. HJKeats 6 July 2005 15:28 (UTC)

When the countries of North America are listed is Denmark ever listed as one? If Greenland contains the most easterly point in North America, then the most westerly point in Europe is what? Aruba? French Guiana? The British Virgin Islands?

I changed the line about greenland and the most easterly point, as the line that was placed in there was blatant POV-the line I put in identifies that there is a debate, and I hope, is not POV :).

One thing to keep in mind here; the question is is Greenland North America? That has nothing to do with the question whether Denmark is in NA or St. Pierre or Aruba being in Europe. St. Pierre and M. are a part of the country France but certainly not the Continent of Europe. If you argue that Greenland is part of NA, which I would say it is, it doesn't mean in any way that its repercussion is then to name St. Pierre or Aruba part of Europe. Distinguish country from continent here is the key. Also, please sign your comments on talk pages.--Kalsermar 20:50, 10 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
