No one here is going to redefine the continents. I still think
it is a more interesting question to find out the boundries of
the actual ones.

Questions like are Iceland and Columbia in North America and
is Kazakstan in Europe are far more interesting, IMO. (I've
also straddled the plate rift in Iceland, BTW :-))

A while back I did a search to find the "official" definition
of Europe. Interesting is the nummber of different "official"
opinions I found. Even the best of them were vague in the
critial area south of the Urals, among other problems. I even
found a couple different places claiming to be the "geographical
center of Europe". I never did find anything with an ISO or the
like stamp on it though. Does anyone here know if there is
an "official" definition of the continents and who the
"office" is?

Failing that, playing around with the boundries of Europe can
be quite interesting on all sides, especially under the
(necessary IMO) assumption that you use solely geophysical
as opposed to geopolitical features.

Finally, in regards to multinational junctions on the continents,
has the UN (or someone) formally decided that there are no
national boundries in Antarctica? Last I heard, and it was
a while ago, Americans did not recogise this, but that does not
mean they do not exist (with a really big multinational point
at the south pole) because alot of countries _did_ recognize
them. I know TCC recognised this as well. Like I said, though,
it was quite a long time ago when I last looked into this.
