Not Europe
-33.2 -46.1 - Summit(3202m)Greenland

I thought Greenland was under Danish jurisdiction, so surely it
*should* count as Europe?


At one time, Australia was under British jurisdiction but I don't
think it was part of Europe at the time. ;-)



I was about to suggest the British Antarctic Territory. Perhaps that
should count not just as part of Europe but as part of the UK, which
would rather mess up the daily "Coldest place in the UK" that appears
in the newspapers.


And if it were to be part of England, it would make a bit of a mess of
the CET figures. It would also mean that central England would be in the
tropical South Atlantic, not far from Ascension I. or St Helena. I
fancy that, at the moment, some Central England residents might fancy
a transfer.
