      I mean, the definition of a continent is a landmass. We don’t count the ice shelves in Canada or Greenland either.

          They are not part of the continental land mass, even though they are geographically located on the continent called North America. But the Arctic is not a continent because there is no land mass.

              I don’t see how you are coming to the conclusion that a. that is the meaning of “beneath” in this context and b. how that is a relevant point in this discussion.

              Also, “deliberately” is just a dumb, unfounded accusation. Wtf makes you think people would purposefully misunderstand you in such an irrelevant discussion and that I am acting with that intent in this instance?

              You’re over here arguing about what continents are and you’re gonna call the other poster obtuse?
