Continental Europe or mainland Europe is the contiguous mainland of Europe, excluding its surrounding islands.[1] It can also be referred to ambiguously as the European continent,[2][3] – which can conversely mean the whole of Europe – and, by some, simply as the Continent.[4] When Eurasia is regarded as a single continent, Europe is treated both as a continent and subcontinent.[5]
