This is a list of the extreme points of Eurasia, the points that are farther north, south, east or west than any other location on the continent. Some of these locations are open to debate, owing to the diverse definitions of Europe and Asia. Mainland Eurasia is entirely located within the northern hemisphere and mostly within the eastern hemisphere, yet it touches the western hemisphere on both extremes. Thus, both the easternmost and westernmost points of Eurasia are in the western hemisphere. Mainland Eurasia crosses 200° of longitude east to west and 76° of latitude north to south. ==Extremes of Eurasia, including islands== * Northernmost Point — Cape Fligeli, Rudolf Island, Franz Josef Land, Russia (81°50'N, 59°14'E) * Southernmost Point — Dana Island, Rote Ndao, Indonesia (11°00'S, 122°52'E) *Westernmost point. The least ambiguous westernmost point of Eurasia is Rockall, United Kingdom (13° 41′ W). However, the Portuguese-governed islands of the Azores straddle the boundary of the Eurasian and North American plates, and the village of Fajã Grande on Flores Island markets itself as the westernmost village in Europe.() The culturally European island nation of Iceland is also on the boundary of the plates; its westernmost point is Bjargtangar (24° 32′ 03″ W). * Easternmost point — Big Diomede, Russia (65°46'N, 169°03'W). The International Date Line runs between the Russian Big Diomede and the neighbouring U.S.-governed Little Diomede. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Extreme points of Eurasia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
