'''Europe''' comprises a large peninsula at the west of the Eurasian land mass.
'''Europe''' is the continental landmass consisting of the major peninsulas of Eurasia, and covering some 15% of the world's land area. It is bordered on the west by the Atlantic Ocean; the north by the Arctic Ocean and Barents Sea; the east by the Ural Mountains; and on the south by the Caspian, Black, and Mediterranean Seas (a second mountain range, the Caucasus, serves as a land boundary between the Caspian and Black seas).
It stretches from the [[Ural Mountains]] in [[Siberia]] on the east, to the western coast of Spain and Portugal and the islands of [[Ireland]] and [[Iceland]]. It is bounded to the north by the [[Arctic]] Ocean, and to the south by the [[Mediterranean]] Sea.
