Answer by  monkeyz (3150)

Europe is about 10 million square kilometers, or about 4 million square miles. It includes the main continent as well as a few islands, including the United Kingdom, Iceland, and Svalbard. It does not include the island of Greenland, a property of Denmark, although this island is pretty close to the European continent. Greenland is considered part of North America.
