notes in answer to questions someone raised earlier
easternmost europe appears to lie on crest of north urals at about 66 east
longitude
center of europe computed by simply averaging geocoords of extremities
is about 29e longitude & 53 or 54n latitude
which falls perhaps 100km southeast of minsk
surprise
however this is probably quite distinct from the true geographic center
which i havent a clue how to compute
